Black Skimmer Range - CWHR B236 [ds967]

Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for Californias wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For more information about CWHR, visit the CWHR webpage (https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR). The webpage provides links to download CWHR data and user documents such as a look up table of available range maps including species code, species name, and range map revision history; a full set of CWHR GIS data; .pdf files of each range map or species life history accounts; and a User Guide.

CWHR分布范围图矢量数据集是加州野生动物栖息地关联（California Wildlife Habitat Relationships, CWHR）系统的组成部分之一；该系统是面向加州野生动物的综合性信息系统与预测模型。CWHR系统的开发旨在为加州陆生脊椎动物相关的栖息地保护与管理、土地利用规划、环境影响评价、科普教育以及科学研究提供支撑。CWHR系统收录了已知定期出没于加州的野生动物物种的生活史、保护管理等级、地理分布以及栖息地关联等相关信息。分布范围图展示了各物种在加州境内当前的最大地理分布范围，最初由物种分类专家以1:500万的比例尺标绘完成，后续逐步修订为1:100万的比例尺。如需了解CWHR系统的更多信息，请访问CWHR官方网页（https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR）。该网页提供了CWHR数据与用户文档的下载链接，具体包括：涵盖物种代码、物种名称及分布范围图修订历史的可用分布图查询表；全套CWHR地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）数据；各分布范围图或物种生活史说明的PDF文件；以及用户指南。
