creation_method CWHR classifications are based on a combination of FVEG canopy cover, FVEG size class and vegetation data. The vegetation data includes a variety of tree, shrub, grassland, and water dominated habitats. Species are considered present, and habitats considered suitable for each 30m cell for which the canopy cover-size-vegetation combination have been deemed highly or moderately suitable for the reproduction or feeding of that species in the California Wildlife Habitat Relationship database. Each cell was assigned the maximum suitability value, i.e. if a cell was moderately suitable for feeding and highly suitable for reproduction, it was considered highly suitable.
data_units Categorical classified into one of the following habitat suitability categories: 0: Not suitable. 1: Moderate foraging. 2: High foraging. 10: Moderate reproduction. 11: Moderate reproduction and foraging. 12: High reproduction, Moderate foraging. 20: High reproduction. 21: Moderate reproduction, High foraging. 22: High reproduction and foraging.
