Vegetation - Coachella Valley Floor [ds2898]

The University of California, Riverside Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) created two fine - scale vegetation maps of the valley floor, originally as the first of many subunits prepared for the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan with assistance from the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC). This subunit was completed in as part of the 2013-2014 task agreement and corrected as part of the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 agreements. This map covers approximately 96,000 acres within the Coachella Valley of Riverside County, California, USA. The primary purpose was to develop a dynamic and accurate vegetation map for the Coachella Valley floor, so that it may be applied to further conservation efforts, and assist with management of the 27 species and multiple types of natural communities listed within the plan.
