California Department of Fish and Game, Habitat Conservation Division, Wildlife and Habitat Data Analysis Branch Monthly (Updates in 6 month intervals with subscription) vector digital data Sacramento, California USA California Department of Fish and Game's Habitat Conservation Division, Wildlife and Habitat Data Analysis Branch http://www.dfg.ca.gov/whdab/html CNDDB.txt The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) is a product of the California Department of Fish and Game's Habitat Conservation Division, Wildlife Habitat Data Analysis Branch (WHDAB). The CNDDB is both a manual and computerized library of the status and locations of California's rare species and natural community types. The CNDDB includes in its inventory all federally and state listed plants and animals, all species that are candidates for listing, all species of special concern, and those species that are considered "sensitive" by government agencies and the conservation community. The computerized information is available for a fee in hardcopy and digital forms. The CNDDB is a dynamic system with information continually being added and upgraded. The CNDDB contains over 39,000 locational records for over 2,000 elements. To provide the most current information and to track the location and condition of California's many species of rare and sensitive plants, animals, and natural communities. We work very hard to keep the CNDDB as current and up to date as possible given our capabilities and resources. However, we cannot and do not portray the CNDDB as 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 our customers. Likewise, your contribution of data to the CNDDB is equally important to the maintenance of the CNDDB. http://www.dfg.ca.gov/whdab/natspec.pdf en May 1854 Current ground condition In work Continually -124.513173 -113.435119 42.087290 32.413349 environment boundaries plants animals conservation MEAR306 none California Limited to subscribers The CNDDB is offered on a yearly subscription basis; it includes an initial copy of RareFind 2 and an update sent six months later. We offer the entire statewide dataset along with the GIS shapefile for use in many popular GIS software packages. All are available to subscribers on CD. Commercial, Non-profit and Government rate of $300 for the initial subscription year and $200 for subsequent renewal years. However, should the subscription lapse 2 months or more from the established anniversary month (i.e., month of initial subscription), subscription will commence again at the initial start-up rate of $300. Organizations can make as many copies of the data and application as necessary for their internal use but cannot make copies for distribution outside of their organization.

ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. ESRI Coordinates defining the features. AREA PERIMETER EO_ EO_ID PARTS Parts reports the number of components (rather than polygons) that make up each geographic location or FCODE. Usually a FCODE is composed of one RING. In some cases, however, the FCODE may be composed of a complex of disjunct parts (a vernal pool complex, for example). In these cases PARTS reports the number of components contained in the complex. An element occurrence at this FCODE will still be represented by a single REGION and a single EONDX. \\Metadata\field_names.htm FCODE Feature Code/Map Index. Uniquely identifies a geographic location. This location may consist of several unconnected features contained in a complex. More than one element occurrence may occur at a given FCODE, creating a situation known as a "multiple". For this reason, FCODE is NOT unique for each record. Although FCODE is assigned sequentially, gaps may appear as records are merged or updated. \\metadata\field_names.htm EONDX Element Occurrence Index. An integer primary key (unique for each record) used as a relate item for ARC/INFO relates. Although EONDX is assigned sequentially, gaps may appear as records are merged or updated. \\metedata\field_names.htm AVLCODE A code used for cartographic symbolization of the EO features contained in the GIS shapefile data set. AVLCODE is actually concatenation of three datafields -- ELTYPE_CODE, ACC_CLASS and EOCOUNT. Because of this, the AVLCODE field captures three fields of information in a single code for purposes of assigning map symbols. With AVLCODE, the first place is from ELTYPE_CODE, the second and third places are from ACC_CLASS, and the last two places are from EOCOUNT. ELTYPE_CODE indicates the type of element (plant, animal, terrestrial community or aquatic community), ACC_CLASS indicates the accuracy class and EOCOUNT the number of occurrences at a single mapped location (FCODE). For example, AVLCODE 10101 (1 01 01) indicates a Plant (ELCODE_CODE = 1), with an accuracy class of 1 (ACC_CLASS = 01) with only one occurrence at that location (EOCOUNT = 01). AVLCODE 20812 indicates an animal occurrence, with an accuracy class of 8 and a shared spatial location with eleven other occurrences (MUTIPLE). Also see LUCODE. \\metadata\field_names.htm ELMCODE Element code. A ten-character (ten-byte) code assigned to each element by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) for data management purposes. These codes are common to all Natural Heritage Programs within the United States and allow efficient inter-jurisdictional communication. An outline of the upper levels of classifications is presented below. Complete coding information is contained in the Natural Heritage Program Operations Manual TNC, Arlington, Virginia, April 1982, revised June 1988. An example code follows the outline. \\metadata\field_names.htm \\metadata\field_names.htm#ELMCODE NatureServe's Natural Heritage Program OCCNUMBER Element Occurrence Number. The occurrence number which uniquely identifies a particular instance of a species or community. Occurrence numbers are assigned sequentially as the occurrence is mapped. The first instance mapped for an element is number 1, the eighteenth location is number 18, etc. There may be gaps in the number sequence as occurrences are combined. Taken together, ELMCODE and OCCNUMBER form a primary key for some tables in the CNDDB. \\metadata\field_names.htm SOURCETYPE Source Feature Type is the geographic source feature type; point, line or area. \\metadata\field_names.htm A Area P Point L Line ELTYPECODE Element Type describes the type of element and uses the following codes: \\metadata\field_names.htm 1 Plant (ELCODES beginning with "P" or "N") 2 Animal (ELCODES beginning with "A" or "I") 3 Terrestrial community (ELCODES beginning with "CT") 4 Aquatic community (ELCODES beginning with "CA") ACC_CLASS Accuracy Class represents spatial uncertainty in a relative way on a scale of one to ten (from most accurate to least accurate). ACC_CLASS integrates accuracy type and accuracy value (see below). \\metadata\field_names.htm 1 Specific bounded area with an 80 meter radius 2 Specific bounded area 3 Non-specific bounded area 4 Circular feature with a 150 meter radius (1/10 mile) 5 Circular feature with a 300 meter radius (1/5 mile) 6 Circular feature with a 600 meter radius (2/5 mile) 7 Circular feature with a 1000 meter radius (3/5 mile) 8 Circular feature with a 1300 meter radius (4/5 mile) Circular feature with a 1600 meter radius (1 mile) 9 10 Circular feature with a 8000 meter radius (5 miles) EOCOUNT Element Occurrence Count. The number of occurrences which share a given FCODE (geographic location). An EOCOUNT greater than one indicates the presence of a "multiple". \\metadata\field_names.htm SNAME Scientific Name. The scientific (Latin) name of a plant or animal or the name of a Natural Community recognized at the state level. \\metadata\field_names.htm CNAME Common Name of an element, recognized at the state level. The CNAME value for natural communities is the same as that for SNAME. \\metadata\field_names.htm FEDLIST Federal Listing Status: United States legal status under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) \\metadata\field_names.htm 1 Federally listed as Endangered 2 Federally listed as Threatened 3 Proposed for federal listing as Endangered 4 Proposed for federal listing as Threatened 5 Candidate for federal listing 6 Delisted - previously listed 7 None - no federal status 8 Species of concern CALLIST California State listing status: State of California legal status \\metadata\field_names.htm 1 State listed as Endangered 2 State listed as Threatened 3 State listed as Rare 4 Candidate for state listing 5 None - no state status 6 Delisted - previously listed GRANK Global Rank reflects overall condition (rarity and endangerment) of an element throughout its range. Ranks are assigned by the CNDDB biology staff following review of all available information. \\metadata\field_names.htm G1 Less than 6 Element Occurrences (EO) OR less than 1,000 individuals OR less than 2000 acres G2 6 - 20 EOs OR 1,000 - 3,000 individuals OR 2,000 - 10,000 acres G3 21 - 100 EOs OR 3,000 - 10,000 individuals OR 10,000 - 50,000 acres G4 Apparently secure; this rank is clearly lower than G3 but factors exist to cause some concern; i.e. there is some threat, or somewhat narrow habitat. G5 Population or stand demonstrably secure to ineradicable due to being commonly found in the world. GnTn Subspecies receive a T-rank attached to the G-rank. With the subspecies, the G-rank reflects the condition of the entire species, whereas the T-rank reflects the global situation of just the subspecies; where n = 1,2,3,4,5 as described above. GH All sites are historical; the element has not been seen for at least 20 years, but suitable habitat still exists. GX All sites are extripated; this element is extinct in the wild. SRANK The State Rank reflects condition (rarity and endangerment) of an element within the State of California. Ranks may be combined to indicate a range, e.g. S1S2. \\metadata\field_names.htm S1 Less than 6 Element Occurrences (EO) OR less than 1,000 individuals OR less than 2000 acres S1.1 Very threatened S1.2 Threatened S1.3 No current threats known S2 6 - 20 EOs OR 1,000 - 3,000 individuals OR 2,000 - 10,000 acres S2.1 Very threatened S2.2 Threatened S2.3 No current threats known S3 21 - 100 EOs OR 3,000 - 10,000 individuals OR 10,000 - 50,000 acres S3.1 Very threatened S3.2 Threatened S3.3 No current threats known S4 Apparently secure within California; this rank is clearly lower than S3 but factors exist to cause some concern; i.e. there is some threat, or somewhat narrow habitat. NO THREAT RANK. S5 Demonstrably secure to ineradicable in California. NO THREAT RANK. SH All sites as historical; the element has not been seen for at least 20 years, but suitable habitat still exists. SX All sites are extripated; this element is extinct in the wild. SENSITIVE Data Sensitive. Logical field (Yes/No) regarding data contained in record \\metadata\field_names.htm Y record contains sensitive data; distribution is restricted N does not contain sensitive data; normal distribution policy applies SITEDATE Site Date/Survey Date. The most recent date that an observer visited the site, according to information available to the CNDDB staff. Format: YYYYMMDD; XX to XXXXXXXX = date component(s) undetermined. \\metedata\field_names.htm ELMDATE Last Observed. The most recent date that an observer actually saw the element at this site according to available information. Format: YYYYMMDD; XX to XXXXXXXX = date component(s) undetermined \\metadata\field_names.htm PRESENCE Presence refers to the condition of the occurrence at the site when it was last observed. \\metadata\field_names.htm 1 Presumed Extant: The most common entry. An occurrence is presumed to still be in existence until evidence to the contrary is received by the CNDDB. 2 Possibly Extirpated This Site: Evidence of habitat destruction, or population extirpation has been received by the CNDDB for this site, but questions remain as to whether the element still exists. 3 Extirpated: Only used when the element has been searched for but not seen for many years or when the habitat is destroyed at this site. TREND Trend Code. Indicates occurrence trend at this site. \\metadata\field_names.htm 1 Increasing 2 Stable 3 Decreasing 4 Fluctuating 5 Unknown OCCRANK Element Occurrence Rank. Ranks occurrence quality \\metadata\field_names.htm A Excellent B Good C Fair D Poor X None or Extirpated U Unknown OCCTYPE Origin. Indicates the occurrence origin. \\metadata\field_names.htm N Native R Refugium I Reintroduction T Transplant KEYQUAD Key Quad. The USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle map which contains the centrum of this occurrence. This code is expressed as a modified USGS code consisting of one degree blocks sub-divided into sixty-four 7.5 minute maps. The one degree block is referenced by the latitude and longitude of its southeast corner (ie: 38121). Individual maps within the block are referenced by an alpha-numeric code. This code originates at the same southeast corner as the one degree block and runs numerically east to west, and alphabetically south to north. This creates a grid allowing maps to be coded by the intersection of these axis (ie: B5). A complete map code would be 38121B5. The CNDDB QUADCODE converts this value to an integer by replacing the alpha character with a numeric equivalent (ie: A = 1, H = 8). This renders the KEYQUAD code for the above example 3812125. \\metadata\field_names.htm \\metadata\field_names.htm#KEYQUAD KEYCOUNTY Key County. The county which contains the centrum of this occurrence.
