Vegetation - Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley

This data set combines vegetation datasets from three mapping project areas in the Sacramento Valley and riparian areas of the San Joaquin Valley to facilitate regional planning, conservation, and enhancement of biological resources by state and local agencies, project partners and regional stakeholders. This dataset meets the National Vegetation Classfication Standared and California Vegetation Classification and Mapping Standards. Vegetation is mapped to the Alliance level with a 1-acre minimum mapping unit. Polygons are also attributed with total bird's-eye cover of trees, shrubs and herbs. Detailed reports on the classification and mapping standards can be downloaded (see summary for links).
