      <abstract>Tukman Geospatial LLC made this map under a subcontract from Space Imaging. Gary Walter was the contracting officer for the project at the Department of Parks and Recreation. The vegetation map was created using a combination of automated and manual techniques. Automated techniques included image segmentation, image classification, and GIS modeling. Manual techniques included manual editing and field work. Image segments were derived from 1 meter spatial resolution pansharpened IKONOS imagery, collected in the spring of 2004. The classification is based on the Manual of California 1995, which used series translated to NVC Alliance concepts by Tukman Geospatial.</abstract>
      <purpose>This is a vegetation map for the Auburn State Recreation Area in California.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Rarity Ranking

Rarity ranks for various types in this map have been updated utilizing the NatureServe Conservation Status Assessments Rank Calculator Version 3.186, and are current as of December 1, 2021. Rarity ranks are subject to change due to changing threats and trends and as ranking methodologies are further refined. Please check CDFW's Natural Communities page for the most up-to-date rarity ranks (https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/VegCAMP/Natural-Communities).

Ranks go from G1 which is critically imperiled/has very few occurrences to G5, when a community is demonstrably secure due to broad distribution with area not subject to threats. Ranks G1-G3 are considered sensitive.
