Barrett A. Garrison, California Department of Fish and Game, North Central Region 20070711 Version 1 vector digital data https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/300_399/ds317.zip These data are the characteristics of the individual snags (standing dead trees) found at 15 sample points with three 0.05-ha circular plot habitat samples taken in 2005 at sample points at Spears and Didion Ranches, Placer County, California. Twelve of the forty-five 0.05-ha circular plots contained snags. To be counted, snags had to be > 4" dbh and > 9.8 ft tall and within the 12.6 m radius plot. These data are intended to represent baseline data for wildlife communities and habitat conditions in these parks. They can be used to assess and monitor the park's ecological viability and sustainability. For information on how the sampling componenst fit into the over-all sampling scheme used on the Spears and Didion Ranch Parks project, see the the following documents: Garrison, B.A. May 2004.

It is assumed that these species were accurately identified and counted. The spatial accuracy of the 100-m count circle radius is presumably accurate to +- 5 m because boundaries were measured with laser rangefinders as were the three vegetation plots associated with each of the 15 sample points. All vegetation-habitat sampling occurred at 3-circular plots around each of the 15 sample points in the project area. During data compilation the coordinates of the centers of 4-plots (3-2, 11-3, 12-3, and 14-1) were lost and are not shown when this data layer is displayed. However, the attribute data for these points exist in the database and are available for analysis if the exact point is not required (Contact the Data Distributor).
