Summary

This is a vegetation map for the Auburn State Recreation Area in California.

Description

Tukman Geospatial LLC made this map under a subcontract from Space Imaging. Gary Walter was the contracting officer for the project at the Department of Parks and Recreation. The vegetation map was created using a combination of automated and manual techniques. Automated techniques included image segmentation, image classification, and GIS modeling. Manual techniques included manual editing and field work. Image segments were derived from 1 meter spatial resolution pansharpened IKONOS imagery, collected in the spring of 2004. The classification is based on the Manual of California 1995, which used series translated to NVC Alliance concepts by Tukman Geospatial.

The top-level classification of the vegetation type in the hierarchy used by the original mappers, equivalent to macrogroup level classification in the MCV hierarchy. The Manual of California Vegetation (1995) was used as the basis for the classes and for the classification, within the framework of the National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS). Where an applicable MCV series existed, it was used as the lowest level (alliance) of the NVCS hierarchy. The NVCS has multiple, hierarchical levels. The conventions used to implement the MCV together with NVCS loosely follow those that were used to map Napa County, California.

Ranks go from G1 which is critically imperiled/has very few occurrences to G5, when a community is demonstrably secure due to broad distribution with area not subject to threats. Ranks G1-G3 are considered sensitive. See: http://www.natureserve.org/sites/default/files/publications/files/natureserveconservationstatusmethodology_jun12_0.pdf and https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/VegCAMP/Natural-Communities Ranks are current as of the publication date or update date.
