Scenario of future land use and land cover data in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and surrounding 10km buffer, built on a baseline layer representing land use/land cover in 2018 with primary summer crops. Used for estimating the multiple benefits and trade-offs that would result from meeting habitat restoration targets for non-tidal wetlands and riparian vegetation by 2050.
This is one of 8 raster geotiff layers that make up the larger dataset "Baseline and projected future land use and land cover in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta", which represents recent (2018) and proposed or anticipated future (2050) land use and land cover in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the surrounding 10km. These layers were developed by Point Blue Conservation Science for a project funded through the Proposition 1 Delta Water Quality and Ecosystem Restoration Program administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife titled "Trade-offs and Co-benefits of Landscape Change Scenarios on Bird Communities and Ecosystem Services in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Grant Agreement Number Q1996022). These data were used in the evaluation of net impacts of landscape change on multiple metrics including agricultural livelihoods, water quality (pesticide application rates), climate change resilience, and biodiversity support, to inform land management and conservation planning. This layer represents a habitat restoration scenario, including a combination of planned and in-progress restoration projects compiled from several databases (SFEI 2020; CNRA c2019; CWMW c2021) with additional hypothetical restoration projects as needed to meet restoration targets for riparian and nontidal wetlands as defined in the Delta Plan's Ecosystem Amendment (Delta Stewardship Council 2022). The additional hypothetical restoration projects were randomly selected from candidate locations identified from locations that are suitable for riparian or non-tidal wetlands (SFEI 2020), excluding locations designed for development (Delta Stewardship Council 2013), and prioritizing locations within Priority Habitat Restoration Areas and protected areas or easements (Delta Stewardship Council 2022; SFEI 2020). The final layer represents overlaying these restoration projects on the primary baseline layer representing land use/land cover in 2018, and which includes primary summer crops. An alternate version (scenario1_restoration_win) represents overlaying these restoration projects on the baseline_win layer, which includes winter crops. See Dybala et al. (In review-A) and Dybala et al. (In review-B) for additional details on the development, assumptions, limitations, and applications of these data.
