Ecological zones of California deserts.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: The dataset delineates ecological zones within California deserts. We derived ecological zones by reclassifying LANDFIRE vegetation biophysical setting types, plus defined various non-wildland (e.g. developed urban/agriculture/roads) and non-burnable (e.g. open water/barren) areas using LANDFIRE existing vegetation types. The 43 biophysical setting types present within the study area were grouped into 13 general vegetation types, which were further grouped into 4 elevation-based ecological zones plus one riparian zone according to their constituent plant associations.; abstract: The dataset delineates ecological zones within California deserts.
