Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Vegetation Alliances October 22, 2007 Department of Fish and Game Biogeographic Data Branch Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Vegetation Alliances October 22, 2007 Introduction: This document provides the Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program’s currently accepted list of vegetation alliances. It is based on the classification put forth in the upcoming second edition of “A Manual of California Vegetation,” (MCV) which is the California expression of the National Vegetation Classification (Grossman et al. 1998). This classification is hierarchical in nature: alliances are the generic vegetation unit and associations the specific unit. We hope to publish a list of accepted associations in the near future. This list is structured differently than previous lists. It emphasizes the relationship of the California alliances with the current National Vegetation Classification System (NVC). NVC codes and names, if they have been identified, are shown in brackets. Those lacking NVC codes and titles indicate new alliances that have not been discovered in currently funded collaborative projects with NatureServe. Those listed in brackets have full descriptions viewable using the following link: http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/servlet/NatureServe?init=Ecol California community codes follow the same format as in previous editions and are based on the Holland coding system (Holland 1986) with additional modifiers to accommodate for new types and the richer detail now currently understood in the California vegetation classification. Semi-natural Stands and Unique Stands: In addition to alliances, this list includes Semi-natural stands and unique stands. Semi-natural stands are strongly dominated by non-native plants that have become naturalized in the state; no alliances are defined by non-natives. Unique stands (which will be called “Special Stands” in the second edition of the MCV) are specific patches of vegetation in the landscape that are unique from other patches, which may appear structurally distinctive as well as rare. These are defined by the presence of specific rare or threatened CNPS list plants that typically define a type, and that usually establish in less redundancy (e.g., less than 10 stands) across the landscape than other vegetation types. Certain rare plants establish with a unique set of species within certain climatic and edaphic conditions, and they typically co-dominate with a rare assemblage of species. Rarity Ranking: One of the primary purposes of the classification is to assist in the location and determinations of significance and rarity of vegetation types for tracking purposes in the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). Thus, ranking of types by their rarity and threat is an important facet of the classification. In previous documents, asterisks (*) denoted special vegetation types that were either known or believed to have been of high priority for inventory in the CNDDB. Currently, this list refines the asterisks to actual “Global” or “State” rankings analogous to those provided with species reported in the CNDDB. These are ranked either G1, G2, G3, G4, or G5 using NatureServe’s standard heritage program methodology (http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/ranking.htm#interpret). If an alliance is marked with a G1 through a G3 code, this means that all of the associations within it will also be considered of high inventory priority. If marked as G4 or G5, these alliances are generally considered common enough to not be of concern. However, it does not mean that certain associations contained within them are not rare (G3 or lower). The forthcoming full association and alliance level ranking list will clarify these relationships. Lead and trustee agencies may request that impacts to these communities be addressed in environmental documents. For example, impacts to wetland community types should be addressed under the state’s no-net-loss of wetlands policy, or local agencies may have policies requiring avoidance of rare community types. Vegetation classification is an active field in California and new types will continue to be defined and their relationships refined for some time. Currently, we define approximately 500 alliances. We relish information on all vegetation types, whether it is a new record or re-assessment of existing information. Please contact us at VegCAMP at (916) 324-6857, and we can help you determine the most useful way to collect information on vegetation types. References: Grossman, D. H., K. Goodin, M. Anderson, P.

  • CDFG Natural Communities List
    Department of Fish and Game Biogeographic Data Branch The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Terrestrial Natural Communities Recognized by The California Natural Diversity Database September 2003 Edition Introduction: This document supersedes all other lists of terrestrial natural communities developed by the Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). It is based on the classification put forth in “A Manual of California Vegetation” (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995 and upcoming new edition). However, it is structured to be compatible with previous CNDDB lists (e.g., Holland 1986). For those familiar with the Holland numerical coding system you will see a general similarity in the upper levels of the hierarchy. You will also see a greater detail at the lower levels of the hierarchy. The numbering system has been modified to incorporate this richer detail. Decimal points have been added to separate major groupings and two additional digits have been added to encompass the finest hierarchal detail. One of the objectives of the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) was to apply a uniform hierarchical structure to the State’s vegetation types. Quantifiable classification rules were established to define the major floristic groups, called alliances and associations in the National Vegetation Classification (Grossman et al. 1998). In this document, the alliance level is denoted in the center triplet of the coding system and the associations in the right hand pair of numbers to the left of the final decimal. The numbers of the alliance in the center triplet attempt to denote relationships in floristic similarity. For example, the Chamise-Eastwood Manzanita alliance (37.106.00) is more closely related to the Chamise- Cupleaf Ceanothus alliance (37.105.00) than it is to the Chaparral Whitethorn alliance (37.205.00).

    Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center University of California, Irvine UCI – NATURE and UC Natural Reserve System California State Parks – Colorado Desert District Anza-Borrego Desert State Park & Anza-Borrego Foundation Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice (revised 1/31/2019) A gaggle of geneticists in Borrego Palm Canyon – 1975. (L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.
