Polygons were delineated on 1981 1:24,000 scale black and white air photos, transferred to 1:100,000 scale base maps, and digitized. The data were updated by Pacific Meridian Resources under contract from CDF using 1990 LANDSAT TM imagery. This GRID format data represent the base classification data used to update delineated polygons (polygons are provided as an additional layer). Each pixel is coded based on species group, tree size, and canopy closure class.In response to concerns over the extent and condition of California's hardwood rangelands, the Board of Forestry asked the University of California, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and the California Department of Fish and Game to develop a program of research, education, and monitoring designed to conserve hardwood rangelands. The resulting Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program (IHRMP) began in 1986. To analyze the extent and nature of hardwood changes, CDF instituted this project and others as part of a long-term monitoring program of IHRMP.1) Pillsbury, N. et. al. 1991.
