To provide the user with a list of all CNDDB-tracked elements (taxa or natural communities) that have been documented by the CNDDB to occur on a particular California county. The CNDDB staff works very hard to keep the data as current and up to date as possible. However, the CNDDB data is not an exhaustive and comprehensive inventory of rare species and natural communities. Field verification for the absence and presence of sensitive species will always be an important obligation of the people who use this data.

ElmType The element type (ElmType) indicates the general taxonomic group that an element falls within. The following element types are currently used by the CNDDB. CNDDB Animals - Amphibians Animals - Arachnids Animals - Birds Animals - Crustaceans Animals - Fish Animals - Insects Animals - Mollusks Animals - Reptiles Community - Aquatic Community - Terrestrial Plants - Bryophytes Plants - Lichens Plants - Vascular SciName The scientific (Latin) name of a plant or animal or the name of a Natural Community recognized at the state level. CNDDB CommonName The common name of an element or taxon, recognized at the state level. The common name value for natural communities is the same as that for the scientific name. CNDDB ElmCode The element code (ElmCode) is a ten-character code assigned to each element/taxon by NatureServe for data management purposes. These codes are common to all Natural Heritage Programs and Conservation Data Centers both within and outside of the United States and allow efficient inter-jurisdictional communication. NatureServe FedStatus The United States legal status under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). USFWS Endangered The classification provided to an animal or plant in danger of extinction within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Threatened The classification provided to an animal or plant which is likely to become an Endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Proposed Endangered The classification provided to an animal or plant that is proposed for federal listing as Endangered in the Federal Register under Section 4 of the Endangered Species Act. Proposed Threatened The classification provided to an animal or plant that is proposed for federal listing as Threatened in the Federal Register under Section 4 of the Endangered Species Act. Candidate The classification provided to an animal or plant that has been studied by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Service has concluded that it should be proposed for addition to the Federal Endangered and Threatened species list. None The plant or animal has no federal status. Delisted The plant or animal was previously listed as Endangered or Threatened, but is no longer listed on the Federal Endangered and Threatened species list. CalStatus The State of California legal status. California Fish and Game Commission Endangered The classification provided to a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant which is in serious danger of becoming extinct throughout all, or a significant portion, of its range due to one or more causes, including loss of habitat, change in habitat, overexploitation, predation, competition, or disease. Threatened The classification provided to a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that, although not presently threatened with extinction, is likely to become an endangered species in the foreseeable future in the absence of special protection and management efforts. Rare The classification provided to a native plant species, subspecies, or variety when, although not presently threatened with extinction, it is in such small numbers throughout its range that it may become endangered if its present environment worsens. This designation stems from the Native Plant Protection Act of 1977. None The plant or animal has no state status. Delisted The plant or animal was previously listed as Endangered, Threatened or Rare but is no longer listed by the State of California. Candidate Endangered The classification provided to a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that the Fish and Game Commission has formally noticed as being under review by the Department of Fish and Wildlife for addition to the list of endangered species, or a species for which the commission has published a notice of proposed regulation to add the species to the list of endangered species. Candidate Threatened The classification provided to a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that the Fish and Game Commission has formally noticed as being under review by the Department of Fish and Wildlife for addition to the list of threatened species, or a species for which the commission has published a notice of proposed regulation to add the species to the list of threatened species. CDFWStatus The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Status applies to animals only. The possible values for CDFW Status are: California Department of Fish and Wildlife FP Fully Protected: This classification was the State of California's initial effort to identify and provide additional protection to those animals that were rare or faced possible extinction. Lists were created for fish, amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Most of the species on these lists have subsequently been listed under the state and/or federal endangered species acts. SSC Species of Special Concern: It is the goal and responsibility of the Department of Fish and Wildlife to maintain viable populations of all native species. To this end, the Department has designated certain vertebrate species as "Species of Special Concern" because declining population levels, limited ranges, and/or continuing threats have made them vulnerable to extinction. The goal of designating species as "Species of Special Concern" is to halt or reverse their decline by calling attention to their plight and addressing the issues of concern early enough to secure their long-term viability. WL Watch List: The Department of Fish and Wildlife maintains a list consisting of taxa that were previously designated as "Species of Special Concern" but no longer merit that status, or which do not yet meet SSC criteria, but for which there is concern and a need for additional information to clarify status. RPlantRank The California Rare Plant Rank (RPlantRank) status applies to plants only. The California Rare Plant Ranks are a ranking system originally developed by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) to better define and categorize rarity in California's flora. These ranks were previously known as the CNPS lists but were renamed to the California Rare Plant Ranks to better reflect the joint effort among the CNPS, the CNDDB, and a wide range of botanical experts, who work together to assign a rarity ranking. All plants tracked by the CNDDB are assigned to a California Rare Plant Rank category. They are assigned to one of the following "lists" in an effort to categorize their degree of rarity and endangerment: CNDDB & California Native Plant Society 1A Plants presumed extinct in California and rare/extinct elsewhere 1B.1 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere; seriously threatened in California 1B.2 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere; fairly threatened in California 1B.3 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere; not very threatened in California 2A Plants presumed extirpated in California, but more common elsewhere 2B.1 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere; seriously threatened in California 2B.2 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere; fairly threatened in California 2B.3 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere; not very threatened in California 3.1 Plants about which we need more information; seriously threatened in California 3.2 Plants about which we need more information; fairly threatened in California 3.3 Plants about which we need more information; not very threatened in California 4.1 Plants of limited distribution; seriously threatened in California 4.2 Plants of limited distribution; fairly threatened in California 4.3 Plants of limited distribution; not very threatened in California CountyName The official California county name. CountyCode A three-character code used by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to uniquely identify California counties. CDFW DataStatus This field is used to indicate the status of the data for a particular element for a particular area. The possible values for Data Status are: CNDDB Mapped Indicates that there is currently information from the specified quad/county and element within the quality-controlled CNDDB occurrence database. Unprocessed Indicates that there is not currently any information from that quad/county for that element within the quality-controlled CNDDB occurrence database but there is unprocessed data at the CNDDB waiting to be evaluated. Mapped and Unprocessed Indicates that there is both information from the specified quad/county and element within the CNDDB occurrence database and within the CNDDB unprocessed data. TaxonSort The element type with the element's taxonomic family and taxon name. This allows records to be sorted taxonomically.
