California Department of forestry and Fire Protection, Fire and Resource Assessment Program (CDF-FRAP) 1997-01-01 hardwdavector digital datahttp://gis.ca.gov/catalog/BrowswRecord.epl?id.279 This represents the distribution of five hardwood cover types to establish quantitative, baseline information concerning California's hardwood resources. The cover types represented are: 1) blue oak woodland, 2) blue oak/foothill pine woodland, 3) valley oak woodland, 4)coastal oak woodland, and 5) montane hardwood mix. In addition, "potential" hardwoods have been mapped as well. To provide information about California Hardwoods to the public. enThis dataset was developed by the California Department of forestry and Fire Protection, Fire and Resource Assessment Program (CDF-FRAP), through contract with Pacific Meridian Resources (PMR). It represents an update of a previous dataset developed by CDF-FRAP through contract with The Natural Resources Management Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Norm Pillsbury). The first dataset was developed through air photo interpretation and has a minimum mapping unit of 40 acres. The second dataset has retained the same polygons, but contains labels updated through image processing-based classification routines. In addition to updated labels, PMR generated polygons outside the original polygons that were labelled as "potential" hardwoods. Updates were not completed for the South Coast Ecological Region. A raster-based (GRID) dataset is available as well. While it can be considered a by product of the classfication routines that were used to generate new labels for the polygon coverage, many users have found the raster dataset to be more useful as it is more accurate, and has a much smaller minimum mapping unit (25 meter pixels, or about .15 acres). The details of both of these datasets are described in the final report, "California Hardwood Rangeland Monitoring, Final Report" (Pacific Meridian Resources, 1994), available from CDF. 1997-01-01 publication date Complete As needed -124.291219 -118.020464 40.811396 34.063069 -362449.330731167107.665502-431833.948422310378.061786 MEAR24FloraVegetationTreeCalifornia Kern County 1997 None.
