Vegetation - Clear Creek Monocline Ridge [ds995]

This project serves two complementary functions. The first is to develop a detailed vegetation inventory to assist the Bureau of Land Management in the development of long-range management decisions in the area, which has a range of uses from a wilderness study area to grazing, mining, and off-road vehicles. The second is to provide a test case for the development of vegetation mapping methodologies with recommendations to the California State Vegetation Memorandum of Understanding Committee. The classification and descriptions produced herein have been used to develop detailed maps of the area’s vegetation, and these maps are compared to other existing maps in the area to test their accuracy and efficiency of production.
