Vegetation - Doyle-Loyalton [ds3089]

Under contract to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the North State Planning and Development Collective created a fine-scale vegetation map from the western edge of Lake Tahoe north to Honey Lake and from the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range east to the Nevada border in northern California. The mapping study area consists of approximately 1.6 million acres, covering portions of Sierra, Plumas, Placer, Nevada, Modoc, and Lassen counties. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre; exceptions are made for wetlands and riparian types, which were mapped to a 1/4 acre. The floristic classification follows protocols compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and National Vegetation Classification Standards (NVCS).
