  • Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
    Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems.

  • Vernal Pool Restoration and Management Issues for Yolo County’S Grasslands Regional Park
    Vernal pool restoration and management issues for Yolo County’s Grasslands Regional Park Report by: Students of UC Davis’ Restoration Ecology Class (ENH 160), Spring 2010, compiled by Sarah Hoskinson and Valerie Eviner Professor: Valerie Eviner, [email protected] TA: Sarah Hoskinson 1 Notes This document is a product from UC Davis’ Restoration Ecology class (ENH 160) in the spring of 2010, and is a result of the hard work of the students. Each topic was written by an individual student, as noted at the start of each report. Some of these reports have been modified in an effort to synthesize and streamline this report. Due to logistical issues (inability to import parts) some figures are missing. Synthesis sections derive from class discussion. Acknowledgements We thank Kent Reeves and Scott Lines from the Yolo County Parks and Resources Department for guidance on key topics that they needed addressed, lecturing to the lab section, giving tours and background information on the site, and allowing us access to the study site. We also thank Carol Whitham for sharing her knowledge of vernal pools with the lab section during field trips to the study site. This project was made possible through the University of California, Davis and the USDA NRI CSREES Managed Ecosystem Program through a grant to Valerie Eviner. 2 Contents Introduction 4 Site overview 5 Vernal pool complex characterization 8 Project synthesis- management/ restoration plan 11 Regional vernal pools overview Distribution of vernal pools in the Central Valley 14 Vernal pool hydrology 35 Vegetation characterization 52 Special status invertebrates Conservancy fairy shrimp (Branchinecta conservation) 83 Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi) 101 Vernal pool snail (Fossaria sonomensis) 112 Other animals Native solitary bees (Andenidae family) 126 Western spadefoot toad (Spea hammondii) 143 Dabbling ducks (Anas spp.) 158 Special status native plants Crampton’s tuctoria (Tuctoria mucronata) 173 Colusa grass (Neostapfia colusana) 188 Alkali milk vetch (Astragalus tener var.
