This layer is provided to provide finer grain delineation of grasslands than our mapping classification and rules supported. Many of the management and research objectives for DFG center around grasslands; and these subdivisions may reflect aspects of these grasslands that are useful for these purposes.
The Vegetation Map of the Carrizo Plain Ecological Reserve, San Luis Obispo County, California was created by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP). Polygons that were distinctive on the imagery but that were not distinguishable based on the classification and mapping resolution (rules) occur within the northern portion of the Chimineas Unit and in the southern portion of the American Unit (Figure 1). They are small hills that seem to have thinner A- horizons due to previous cultivation or simply their position on rocky outcrops. At least in 2007-2009, these did not have a significantly higher cover of native species or shrubs, and total cover was within the same cover class as the surrounding grasslands. We delineated these in our first draft of the map but merged them with the surrounding grassland on the final map. These divisions are maintained in this feature class.
