The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. High resolution vegetation polygons mapped by the National Park Service. This is the vegetation of Yosemite National Park and beyond the boundary. The data were produced from 1997 color infrared analog photographs flown by Photo Science through a nationwide contract. ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) was the contrator that coordinated the work. Hundreds of vegetation plots were surveyed within the park and outside the park boundaries by the National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, and The Nature Conservancy. The photointerpretation of the 1997 photos was performed by Aerial Information Systems (Redlands, CA). Photointerpretation was conducted manually using analog photos in stereo pairs and then the polygon boundaries were georeferenced to DOQQS to georectify the map. A plant community classification was developed by NatureServe (in cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Game and California Native Plant Society) by running cluster analysis on the plot data from 604 sites surveyed in 1998 and 1999, 362 sites surveyed in 1989 to 1993, and 774 sites surveyed in 1935 to 1937. A list of mappable types was developed and crosswalked to the floristic classification based on the cluster analysis. Photointerpretation and georectification were completed in 2003; accuracy assessment was completed in 2006.

CDFW BIOS GIS Dataset, Contact: VegCAMP Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program, Description: This project was initiated in 1996 when NatureServe, ESRI, Aerial Information Systems, National Park Service (NPS), and USGS met to discuss the use of Yosemite as a pilot for the NPS mapping program. The principal issues for this first project were to implement a GIS-based gradient-directed transect approach for sampling, integrate the vegetation sampling process with the photointerpretation process, and integrate data collected since the 1930s with the data to be collected for this project.

A list of mappable types was developed and crosswalked to the floristic classification based on the cluster analysis ('MappingClasstoVegClassTable.xls'). Mapping classification type names are found in 'TYPENAME.dbf;' mapping classification definitions by type are located in Final Comprehensive Mapping Classification Descriptions.doc. The mapping classes were coded and assigned to individual polygons in the vegetation map along with codes for canopy closure, fire severity where applicable, and land use. The floristic classification, key to types and type descriptions are located in the document 'Yosemite Classification Report.doc.' Accuracy assessment field data were collected by NatureServe and analyzed by the NPS and the USGS. Photointerpretation and georectification were completed in 2003; accuracy assessment was completed in 2006. There are several lookup tables that can be joined to the shapefile's attribute table that explain attribute codes, and include: "CommType_xPIFinal.dbf" that includes the broad aggregated vegetation community type for each polygon and is joined to the attribute table using the PIFINAL field; "DENSITY.dbf" which includes the vegetation cover classes for each polygon and is joined to the attribute table using the DENSITY field; "FIRE.dbf" that includes the fire severity classes for the most recent (prior to 1997) fire that occured within the polygon and is joined to the attribute table using the FIRE field; "LANDUSE.dbf" which includes the general type of land use for each polygon and is joined to the attribute table using the LANDUSE field; and "WHR_x_PIFinal.dbf" which inlcudes the California Wildlife Habitat Relationship type (2008) for each polygon and is joined to the attribute table using the PIFINAL field.Data File http://nrdata.nps.gov/yose/yosedata/yose_97veg_final_poly.zipMetadata http://nrdata.nps.gov/yose/yosedata/yose_97veg_final_poly.xmlPLOTS data: http://biology.usgs.gov/npsveg/tools/plotsdatabase.html Point of Contact: Bill Kuhn GIS specialist/biogeographer Yosemite National Park, Division of Resources Management & Science PO Box 700 El Portal CA 95318 USA Email: bill_kuhn@nps.gov Phone: 209-379-1157

This repository contains park and neighborhood data for Yosemite National Park (YOSE) in support of the NSF-funded project on Sustainability and Safety in the Pacific West Region National Parks.Internal park data include trail and roads within park boundary as well as yearly data on visitation and staffing for 2003-2013.Neighborhood data include census demographics, county crime, roads, parcel ownership, and land cover.Details provided in NPS PWR Crime Metadata.pdf.

These datasets shows various modeled likely extents of ordinary high water and flood events in Yosemite National Park. Several endeavors over the years have developed these datasets for different areas and in different geometries. This dataset includes models from three different studies that cover eastern Yosemite Valley, Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, Tuolumne Meadows Lodge, and Tuolumne Meadows areas. Contractors Cella-Barr and Associates modeled the likely extent of a 2-year, 10-year, 25-year, and 100-year flood event in eastern Yosemite Valley. Data provided in 1998. The polylines represent the boundaries of that modeled flood extent. There is one polygon representing the boundaries of an update to the 2-year flood extent in this dataset that was done by the Denver Service Center in 2006 after finding a shift.In a 2006 study, 100-year floodplains and ordinary high water marks were determined for 3 locations: the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge Area, Tuolumne Meadows Campground to Visitor Center, and Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp. Ordinary high water marks were determined in order to map the jurisdictional waters of the US that are associated with the Tuolumne River, including the Dana and Lyell Forks in Tuolumne Meadows. By observing spring flooding and using many indicators recommended by the US Army Corps of Engineers (see study)- including types of vegetation, changes in soil, and presence of litter and debris- the researchers defined the ordinary high water marks of these locations.The magnitude of the 100-year flood was calculated using equations developed by the US Geological Survey for ungaged river basins in the Sierra Nevada. The floodplains were determined using the US Army Corps of Engineers Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System, a 1-dimensional hydraulic flow model.There are three polygons from the U.S. Corps of Engineers modeled floodplain for Yosemite Valley. Date unknown. They are likely the modeled or projected 100 year flood line boundary. IRMA Data Store Reference

The Terrestrial 30x30 Conserved Areas map layer was developed by the CA Nature working group, providing a statewide perspective on areas managed for the protection or enhancement of biodiversity. Understanding the spatial distribution and extent of these durably protected and managed areas is a vital aspect of tracking and achieving the “30x30” goal of conserving 30% of California's lands and waters by 2030.Terrestrial and Freshwater Data• The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD), developed and managed by GreenInfo Network, is the most comprehensive collection of data on open space in California. CPAD data consists of Holdings, a single parcel or small group of parcels, such that the spatial features of CPAD correspond to ownership boundaries. • The California Conservation Easement Database (CCED), managed by GreenInfo Network, aggregates data on lands with easements. Conservation Easements are legally recorded interests in land in which a landholder sells or relinquishes certain development rights to their land in perpetuity. Easements are often used to ensure that lands remain as open space, either as working farm or ranch lands, or areas for biodiversity protection. Easement restrictions typically remain with the land through changes in ownership. • The Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), hosted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), is developed in coordination with multiple federal, state, and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners. PAD-US, through the Gap Analysis Project (GAP), uses a numerical coding system in which GAP codes 1 and 2 correspond to management strategies with explicit emphasis on protection and enhancement of biodiversity. PAD-US is not specifically aligned to parcel boundaries and as such, boundaries represented within it may not align with other data sources. • Numerous datasets representing designated boundaries for entities such as National Parks and Monuments, Wild and Scenic Rivers, Wilderness Areas, and others, were downloaded from publicly available sources, typically hosted by the managing agency.Methodology1. CPAD and CCED represent the most accurate location and ownership information for parcels in California which contribute to the preservation of open space and cultural and biological resources.2. Superunits are collections of parcels (Holdings) within CPAD which share a name, manager, and access policy. Most Superunits are also managed with a generally consistent strategy for biodiversity conservation. Examples of Superunits include Yosemite National Park, Giant Sequoia National Monument, and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. 3. Some Superunits, such as those owned and managed by the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, or National Park Service , are intersected by one or more designations, each of which may have a distinct management emphasis with regards to biodiversity. Examples of such designations are Wilderness Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, or National Monuments.4. CPAD Superunits and CCED easements were intersected with all designation boundary files to create the operative spatial units for conservation analysis, henceforth 'Conservation Units,' which make up the Terrestrial 30x30 Conserved Areas map layer. Each easement was functionally considered to be a Superunit. 5. Each Conservation Unit was intersected with the PAD-US dataset in order to determine the management emphasis with respect to biodiversity, i.e., the GAP code. Because PAD-US is national in scope and not specifically parcel aligned with California assessors' surveys, a direct spatial extraction of GAP codes from PAD-US would leave tens of thousands of GAP code data slivers within the 30x30 Conserved Areas map. Consequently, a generalizing approach was adopted, such that any Conservation Unit with greater than 80% areal overlap with a single GAP code was uniformly assigned that code. Additionally, the total area of GAP codes 1 and 2 were summed for the remaining uncoded Conservation Units. If this sum was greater than 80% of the unit area, the Conservation Unit was coded as GAP 2. 6. Subsequent to this stage of analysis, certain Conservation Units remained uncoded, either due to the lack of a single GAP code (or combined GAP codes 1&2) overlapping 80% of the area, or because the area was not sufficiently represented in the PAD-US dataset. 7. These uncoded Conservation Units were then broken down into their constituent, finer resolution Holdings, which were then analyzed according to the above workflow. 8. Areas remaining uncoded following the two-step process of coding at the Superunit and then Holding levels were assigned a GAP code of 4. This is consistent with the definition of GAP Code 4: areas unknown to have a biodiversity management focus. 9. Greater than 90% of all areas in the Terrestrial 30x30 Conserved Areas map layer were GAP coded at the level of CPAD Superunits intersected by designation boundaries, the coarsest land units of analysis. By adopting these coarser analytical units, the Terrestrial 30X30 Conserved Areas map layer avoids hundreds of thousands of spatial slivers that result from intersecting designations with smaller, more numerous parcel records. In most cases, individual parcels reflect the management scenario and GAP status of the umbrella Superunit and other spatially coincident designations.Tracking Conserved AreasThe total acreage of conserved areas will increase as California works towards its 30x30 goal. Some changes will be due to shifts in legal protection designations or management status of specific lands and waters. However, shifts may also result from new data representing improvements in our understanding of existing biodiversity conservation efforts. The California Nature Project is expected to generate a great deal of excitement regarding the state's trajectory towards achieving the 30x30 goal. We also expect it to spark discussion about how to shape that trajectory, and how to strategize and optimize outcomes. We encourage landowners, managers, and stakeholders to investigate how their lands are represented in the Terrestrial 30X30 Conserved Areas Map Layer. This can be accomplished by using the Conserved Areas Explorer web application, developed by the CA Nature working group. Users can zoom into the locations they understand best and share their expertise with us to improve the data representing the status of conservation efforts at these sites. The Conserved Areas Explorer presents a tremendous opportunity to strengthen our existing data infrastructure and the channels of communication between land stewards and data curators, encouraging the transfer of knowledge and improving the quality of data. CPAD, CCED, and PAD-US are built from the ground up. Data is derived from available parcel information and submissions from those who own and manage the land. So better data starts with you. Do boundary lines require updating? Is the GAP code inconsistent with a Holding’s conservation status? If land under your care can be better represented in the Terrestrial 30X30 Conserved Areas map layer, please use this link to initiate a review. The results of these reviews will inform updates to the California Protected Areas Database, California Conservation Easement Database, and PAD-US as appropriate for incorporation into future updates to CA Nature and tracking progress to 30x30.
