Statewide Terrestrial Native Species Richness Summary - ACE [ds1332]

For more information, see the Native Species Richness Factsheet at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=150681]. The user can view a list of species potentially present in each hexagon in the ACE Online Viewer [https://map.dfg.ca.gov/ace/]. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) is a compilation and analysis of the best-available statewide spatial information in California on biodiversity, rarity and endemism, harvested species, significant habitats, connectivity and wildlife movement, climate vulnerability, climate refugia, and other relevant data (e.g., other conservation priorities such as those identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), stressors, land ownership). ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.

Mule Deer Range - Region 2 [ds796]

This layer shows critical and non-critical winter and summer ranges, fall holding areas, fawning grounds and migration corridors for deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in CDFW Region 2, North Central Region, Ca. In 1990, CDFW Wildlife Biologists compiled these data from the CDFW Migratory Deer Herd Management Plans, biotelemetry studies, personal knowledge, and predicted use of habitats. These data were subsequently digitized onto USGS 15' quadrangle maps to produce this dataset.

Positive Detection Breeding Bird Survey Route Stops - USGS [ds2800]

To create this dataset, a few of the datasets available online were combined. The "50-StopData", "SpeciesList", and "routes" were used and joined together by CDFW staff. Negative detections were recorded, but removed from this dataset due to size constraints. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 1966-2022 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset contains avian point count data for more than 700 North American bird taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly 24.5 miles (39.2 km) long with counting locations placed at approximately half-mile (800-m) intervals, for a total of 50 stops. At each stop, a citizen scientist highly skilled in avian identification conducts a 3-minute point count, recording all birds seen within a quarter-mile (400-m) radius and all birds heard. Surveys begin 30 minutes before local sunrise and take approximately 5 hours to complete. Routes are surveyed once per year, with the total number of routes sampled per year growing over time; just over 500 routes were sampled in 1966, while in recent decades approximately 3000 routes have been sampled annually. No data are provided for 2020. BBS field activities were cancelled in 2020 because of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic and observers were directed to not sample routes. In addition to avian count data, this dataset also contains survey date, survey start and end times, start and end weather conditions, a unique observer identification number, route identification information, and route location information including country, state, and BCR, as well as geographic coordinates of route start point, and an indicator of run data quality.
Vegetation - Great Valley Ecoregion [ds2632]

Geodatabase feature class containing a map of vegetation within the Great Valley Ecoregion produced by the Geographical Information Center (GIC) at CSU Chico. The dataset combines both new mapping and the previously completed Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley and the Southern San Joaquin Valley vegetation maps. Vegetation polygons were manually digitized as interpreted using the National Agricultural Inventory Program's (NAIP) 2009 (Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley map), 2012 (Southern San Joaquin Valley map) and 2014 (balance of San Joaquin Valley) aerial imagery at a scale of 1:2000. The minimum mapping unit (mmu) for natural vegetation is 1.0 acre, with a minimum average width of 10 meters. The mmu for agricultural and urban polygons is 10 acres. Vegetation is attributed to the Group and Alliance level of the state and national vegetation hierarchy. In some cases, polygons were attributed only to Group or Macrogroup level when the Alliance could not be determined from photointerpretation. The map classification is based on the key to vegetation types in Buck-Diaz et al. 2012. The Central Valley and Sacramento Valley maps were assessed for Accuracy with an average users’ accuracy of 90.2 percent and users’ accuracy of 89 percent. The San Joaquin Valley portion of the map was field verified by the mappers but was not otherwise assessed for accuracy (see Supplemental Information below for details). More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: [https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2600_2699/ds2632.zip].
RFFCP Regions/WIP Geographies

RFFCP Regions also known as WIP Geographies of the Watershed Improvement Program (WIP) Capacity Assessments. About these boundaries Originally developed by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) to help focus regional investments by multiple agencies participating in the Sierra Nevada Strategic Investment Program (SNSIP). These geographic areas are also used by the conservancy for its WIP Capacity Assessment (currently Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program) reporting. The original description presented to SNSIP partners: How these geographies were developed. The SNSIP geographies were developed with the following process: * The 25 million acre Sierra Nevada region was broken down into seven actionable geographic areas, based on SNC’s experience with the Tahoe-Central Sierra Initiative (TCSI) and similar in size to TCSI. * Boundaries are based on watershed boundaries, grouped by biogeography and where water flows. * Boundaries are based on the boundaries of existing collaboratives mapped as part of current and previous SNC efforts, to build on already successful and productive on-the-ground efforts. Additional provenance detail: The SNSIP / RFFCP / WIP Capacity geographies are groups of Watershed Improvement Program (WIP) watersheds. And hence build on that program. The groupings of the watersheds were chosen based on institutional factors, e.g. current and past forest collaboratives and downstream water stakeholders, as well as similar ecosystems. These variables were balanced as best possible without fracturing WIP watersheds. There was an additional desire to have the geographies of similar in size to the TCSI, as that was the expected model. To again maintain the integrity of WIP watersheds the TCSI PLUS was the combination of the original TCSI and the downstream parts of the American, Bear and Yuba watersheds. Compared to the WIP watersheds the geographies have been mapped at the HUC12 level detail found in the NHD. This was chosen based on the approach by Malcom North et.al to characterize the HUC12 watershed as an effective “fire shed.”
California Lakes

NOTE: In 2013, the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG, DFG) was renamed to California Department of Fish and Widlife (CDFW). This dataset is an update of California lake, reservoir, and pond layers as assembled by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG). It includes many small and unnamed waterbodies in the High Sierra and California Cascades, some of which are not depicted on USGS 7.5-minute/1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Most data were captured at 1:24,000-scale or better. Waterbodies are represented as single polygons (with islands), with Latitude/Longitude coordinates of waterbody centroids and a unique numeric identifier for each. Waterbody polygons represent shorelines generally at full or near-full levels. A previous version of this dataset did not contain islands. This dataset is considered authoritative as used by CDFW for particular tracking purposes but may not be current or comprehensive for all waterbodies in the state.
