      <abstract>The four layers here are the answer to the common request by stakeholders and decision-makers: a single, best estimate, connectivity map for the biodiversity of a region. The "Top Values" layer is here primarily for easy visualization, but has small improvements needed for about 2% of the study area. If funds are provided, then the proposed improvements can be implemented. Currently, it is best to use the full coverage, "Combination of Combinations" dataset, for quantitative and decision-making purposes.Related layers in BIOS include:Top Values of the Structural and Focal Species Connectivity Combination (BETA) - Central Valley - 2019 - CBI [ds2950]Structural and Focal Species Connectivity Combination - Central Valley - 2019 - CBI [ds2951]Focal Species Connectivity Combination (Climate-wise) - Central Valley - 2019 - CBI [d2952]Structural Connectivity Combination (Climate-wise) - Central Valley - 2019 - CBI [ds2953]Other related data inputs and outputs are in the Sacramento Valley Gallery.

      <purpose>This is part of a connectivity modeling and mapping project for the Sacramento Valley that maps connectivity for several focal species, structural connectivity, and their combination. Each dataset represent a single combined best estimate connectivity map for four focal species Taxidea taxus (American badger), Lynx rufus (bobcat), Odocoileus hemionus (mule deer), and Cervus elaphus (tule elk).</purpose>
