Summary

The data set will be used by TNC CA, Science to map and determine the extent of native riparian vegetation along the Salinas River and its major tributaries, to identify significant areas of invasive species such as Giant Cane, and to inform an assessment of potential wildlife corridors along the riparian corridor to the adjacent upland habitats in the coastal ranges.

Description

This data set represents terrestrial vegetation along the portion the Salinas River in Monterey County and several of its tributaries. The Nature Conservancy (TNC), California defined "Gallery" vegetation classes as mature riparian forests dominated by native species with a tree density greater than forty percent. The data set was developed by Aerial Information Systems in May 2008. Refer to mnt_SalinasR_Veg_Report.doc for more info
