Summary

To illustate Valley Floor Linkage areas listed in Table 11 of the Recovery Plan for Upland Species of the San Joaquin Valley.

Description

The California Departments of Fish and Game, Parks and Recreation, and Transportation (Caltrans) are collaborating to improve planning information for wildlife connectivity statewide. The results of an inquiry to identify existing information on wildlife corridors in California produced eight data sets covering three parts of California and a single statewide data set. Not all data sets represent the same data gathering and analysis criteria for designating corridors. The data set groups and their creators are: Statewide Corridors, by South Coast Wildlands - one data set. Central California Coast Corridors, by Univ. of California, Davis - one data set. San Joaquin Valley Corridors, by Endangered Species Recovery Program - three data sets. San Joaquin Valley Corridors, by Information Center for the Environment - two data sets. Southern California Corridors, by South Coast Wildlands - one data set. The data set proposes areas where connectiviy and linkages between isolated habitat on the San Joaquin Valley floor and natural lands in the surrounding foothills should be promoted. The information was put together by the Endangered Species Recovery Program and incorporated with the federal recovery plan produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Data Quality

Scope of quality information
Resource level dataset




Data quality report - Conceptual consistency
Measure description
Arcs connect to each other at nodes. Arcs have direction and left and right sides. Arcs that connect to surround an area define a polygon.




Data quality report - Completeness omission
Measure description
The coverage does not show actual locations for potential linkages, but general geographic areas within which connectivity and linkages should be promoted.




Data quality report - Quantitative attribute accuracy
Measure description
The attributes assigned to the polygon areas are from Table 11 of the SJV Recovery Plan and should be as accurate.




Data quality report - Absolute external positional accuracy
Dimension horizontal


Measure description
This coverage is extremely generalized to show general geographic areas and not actual parcel locations on the ground.




Lineage

Process step
When the process occurred 1996-01-01
Description
Dan Williams and Patrick Kelly of ESRP used the locations of existing non-native grassland and scrub communities on the valley floor as well as physical features such as the Chowchilla Canal to determine the locations for areas where connectivity and linkages should be promoted. The selected areas were created as polygon coverages in ARC/INFO by Nancy Norvell of ESRP. Subsequent edits to the polygon locations were done in ARC/INFO by Scott Phillips of ESRP.
