Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
- description: The database represents point locations and associated stand assessment data collected within aspen stands in
the Plumas National Forest, Beckwourth Ranger District (Plumas County); field surveys and assessments were conducted by trained
USFS staff. This is the current completed data set for aspen distribution of land administered by this agency. Aspen stands
were assessed and delineated using a protocol developed by the lead investigators at the Beckwourth Ranger District. Data
captures location and vegetative characteristics of aspen stands. Associated with this point layer is a polygon layer (PLUMAS_NF_POLY)
containing aspen stands delineated in conjunction with the aspen assessment information. Data Compilation: The Aspen Delineation
Project (ADP) is a collaborative effort of the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region, the California Department
of Fish and Games Resource Assessment Program, and the California Office of Bureau of Land Management. Principal Investigator
for ADP is David Burton; visit: www.aspensite.org for more information regarding the ADP. The Department of Fish and Games,
Resource Assessment Program compiled this information from the collaborating agencies and other researchers, and formatted
the data into a common database for the purpose of facilitating access to data related to the conservation of Quaking Aspen
in California. This information portal falls within the ADP goals to help agencies and land managers identify, map, treat,
and monitor aspen habitats. This dataset is a portion of a master database compiled during a year long effort in 2005 to pull
together current GIS layers and maps depicting Aspen communities in California.; abstract: The database represents point locations
