SBC LTER: Land: Catchment characteristics along the southern coast of Santa Barbara County in Geodatabase

This data package include GIS layers stored in Geodatabase. The
layers describe the characteristics of the catchments along the
southern coast of Santa Barbara County used in the article Aguilera,
R., & Melack, J. M. (2018). Relationships among nutrient and
sediment fluxes, hydrological variability, fire, and land cover in
coastal California catchments. Journal of Geophysical Research:
Biogeosciences, 123, 2568– 2589.
https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JG004119. Catchment characteristics
include: Land cover and land use based on hyperspectral imagery
obtained by the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer;
number of inhabitants based on population counts by block from the
2010 census spatial database; relief and slopes estimated from a 30
m digital elevation model; geological substrata obtained from
geologic maps of California; soil textural types based on the Soil
Survey Geographic data, and fire perimeters for the Gaviota, Gap,
Tea and Jesusita fires.
