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 data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000577.

Vegetation surveys included in this dataset have been collected through various vegetation classification and mapping projects, and some were also collected independently from these kinds of projects. Reports for these projects can be found in CDFWs document library see https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/documents/ContextDocs.aspx?cat=VegCAMP. Links to specific projects are provided with project descriptions below. The surveys are of various types, but many follow the rapid assessment/releve protocol which can be seen here: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/VegCAMP/Publications-and-ProtocolsThere are associated disturbance and other environmental data taken for many of these surveys that are not included in this dataset. There are also associated photos. These are available upon request.

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.
