Summary

Documentation of vegetation communities with related structural and disturbance data for the Modoc Plateau.

Description

CSU Geographic Information Center at Chico (GIC), with assistance from the Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program at CDFW (VegCAMP) created a fine-scale vegetation and land use map of portions of the Modoc Plateau in California. This map covers approximately 1,945,674 acres in eastern Lassen and southern Modoc Counties. It was produced using a base of true-color 2016 one-meter National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery. Polygons were assessed for vegetation types, percent covers, clearing disturbance, invasive plant cover and other attributes. Average accuracy was 84 percent.
