Data Descriptions Plant species and their relative cover are recorded once per year at 19 plots throughout the YBWA. Photos are also taken at each plot - 1 of the plot itself, followed by one facing each cardinal direction This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000580.

Surveys are conducted to record the number of waterfowl utilizing the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. Data are broken up by species and pond number where individuals are counted.

This Vegetation Map of the San Felipe Valley Wildlife Area in San Diego County, California is based on vegetation samples collected in the field in 2002 and 2005 and on photo interpretation of a 2000 Color Infrared (CIR) Image. The map legend is based on classification of the plots and follows the hierarchical National Vegetation Classification System (USGS-NPS 2005) and Manual of California (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995). Types are cross-walked to California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) and Holland types. No report was produced; this metadata serves to document the entire project. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS: Each record represents the attributes of the individual polygon in the map layer, including vegetation type, structural information, and disturbance information. The map represents vegetation as it existing prior to the 2002 Pines Fire. Polygons are attributed to the lowest level of the classification hierarchy allowed by the image resolution and comfort level of the photo interpreter. Thus, individual polygons are mapped to the Formation, Alliance or Association level. Several "mapping units" not in the vegetation classification were also used in the mapping classification (=map legend). The hierarchical classification and crosswalk allow mapping at coarser levels or in different systems (e.g., CWHR). If mapping at the Formation level (the "1000s" in the spreadsheet), please consider including the California juniper types 2106, 2171, 2172 and 2173 in the 4000s (Evergreen Shrubland). This juniper is considered a tree in the national classification, but is more shrub-like and its desert affinities make California juniper types fit more logically into the Evergreen Shrubland Formation.

TIME PERIOD COVERED These data were collected between May-July 2004 by field crews working for California Department of Fish and Game. GEOGRAPHIC EXTENT OF THE RECORDS Vegetation plots occur in two study areas on public lands in Yuba and Tehama Counties in the Sierra Nevada foothills. NUMBER OF RECORDS There are 183 records with habitat attributes measured from 0.05 - 0.10 hectare sampling plots. BASE DATA STRUCTURE The file is a flat Excel table which gives vegetation attributes for each habitat plot. Each habitat plot is represented by two key fields called "SAMPLE_ID" and "PLOT_NUM" which relate these habitat records to bird and herpetile survey data collected in the same year from the same sample points. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS Each record in the table represents the average values for habitat attributes from plots that can be linked with bird count data from the same points. Average values for each sample represent the mean of average values from 3 habitat plots measured at each point.
