California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program 20230621 vector digital data https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/500_599/ds515.zip This metadata layer shows the footprint of vegetation mapping projects completed in California that have used the Manual California of Vegetation (MCV 1st edition) or the National Vegatation Classification Standards (MCV 2nd edition/online) as a basis for vegetation classification. It provides basic information about each project. It is current as of June 2022. A second dataset, Vegetation (MCV / NVCS) Sampling Projects - California [ds3103], shows information about sampling-only project areas that currently have no mapping projects associated with them. It is intended to provide those interested in the Survey of California Vegetation a view of all the mapping projects, with some information about how and when those projects were completed (or are being completed). The dataset that appears on BIOS is a generalized version of the dataset. The downloadable version should have the fully detailed boundaries of the projects.

Area_name Name of mapping project. Year_photo Year of the primary imagery used in production of the map. Photo_Desc Description of the imagery used in the production of the map. Year_srvy The first or main year surveys used to support the mapping project. SurveyDesc Description of the type of surveys employed in the project. surveyors Organization(s) who had staff involved in surveying. mappers Organization that performed the mapping. steward The data steward for the project. This is often the client for whom the map was produced. Date_comp Date the project was finished/published. ProjStatus The overall status of the mapping project. This attribute lets the user know if the map is complete and based on a local classification. That information should aid with the decision to use a local classification in determining natural communities during projects in an area. contact Contact for the dataset. email Email address for the contact. link Link to a site where the data can be downloaded. Notes Notes/clarifications about the specific project. Report Link to a copy of the project mapping and or accuracy assessment report. MapStatus The status of the mapping broken down into ordered steps: 1. Survey: rapid assessments, relevees, reconnaissance field surveys to determine what types of vegetation exist in the project area. 2. Classification: plot data is grouped based on composition into existing or new communities. 3. Mapping: having turned the community classification into a map classification and determined rules the area is being mapped. 4. Accuracy Assessment: surveys are being done to calculate or verify that the mapping was accurate with respect to classes. 5. Complete. Classified If the project had a classification component, and was therefore based on a map classification built in that area. Accuracy Reported accuracy from the accuracy report. AccDesc Brief description of the accuracy assessment method. Acres GIS calculated acreage for the project area. SCVstatus To what degree the project conforms to the Survey of California standards. Please see https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/VegCAMP/Publications-and-Protocols A = reduced attributes B = No accuracy assessment C = Classification not based on local analysis D = Classification not based on local plots E = Expected to be fully compliant F = Complete and fully compliant U = Unknown, project not complete or evaluated ClassRpt Link to a copy of the classification report. BIOSds The dataset number in the BIOS application. See https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios/?bookmark=940 ProjCode The project code used primarily for project surveys. Shape_Length Length of feature in internal units. Esri Positive real numbers that are automatically generated. Shape_Area Area of feature in internal units squared.
