Please see Table 2 for a description of the criteria used to rate each topic as interpret with caution (red), acceptable (yellow), or ideal (green). Evidence in the organization’s submitted report, data, and metadata was used as the basis for determining topic ratings. For most occurrence data topics (indicated by an asterisk [*]), minimum ratings were based on occurrence data through 2012 currently available in the California Natural Diversity Database [49], as all contractors used CNDDB data in model development (see Methods).
