This is part of a connectivity modeling and mapping project for the Sacramento Valley that maps connectivity for several focal species, structural connectivity, and their combination. Other related data inputs and outputs are in the
The four layers here are the answer to the common request by stakeholders and decision-makers: a single, best estimate, connectivity map for the biodiversity of a region. T he "Top Values" layer is here primarily for easy visualization, but has small improvements needed for about 2% of the study area. If funds are provided, then the proposed improvements can be implemented. Currently, it is best to use the full coverage, "Combination of Combinations" dataset, for quantitative and decision-making purposes.
