Aboveground Carbon Turnover Time and Residency Time
The average lifetime of aboveground live and dead carbon in years. Locations where the lifetime or turnover time is longer have more carbon in more stable pools, such as large... -
Absolute Change in Herbaceous Cover
A raster dataset representing absolute change of herbaceous fractional (%) land cover in the Southern California Region. -
Actual Evapotranspiration and Precipitation Ratio During Drought
Plants respond to conditions in their immediate vicinity. Thus, to understand the vegetative moisture stress during drought, it is important to measure the local moisture... -
American Indian Land Areas
Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribes. These boundaries have been clipped to the boundary of California so that only the portions of each Tribal area that fall... -
Annual Biomass Data (2001-2021) - Aboveground Live Biomass 2021
Biomass estimates for shrubland-dominated ecosystems in southern California have, to date, been limited to national or statewide efforts which can underestimate the amount of... -

Basal Area
Basal area (BA) is a common forest structure measurement that provides a useful index of forest and habitat condition. Basal area is the cross-sectional area of the bole of a... -
Biomass Residues
This raster layer represents forest residues for the state of California in 2018. It was developed by the Schatz Energy Research Center as part of the C-BREC (California Biomass... -
Canopy Cover
This layer represents horizontal cover fraction occupied by tree canopies. Maps community type & fire regime, as well as available habitat for tree-dwelling species. -
Canopy Layer Count
This layer represents the number of distinct vertical canopy layers of trees. Vertical layer count is a proxy for leaf area index, and maps canopy complexity. Since LANDFIRE... -
Canopy Vegetation Height
This layer represents distance between the ground and the top of the canopy. Canopy height is a proxy for aboveground biomass and the amount of foliage that may be consumed in a... -
Central CA Cost of Potential Treatments
The principle method for maintaining or restoring resilience to the Central Coast landscape involves vegetation treatments. There are many variations on treatments involving... -
Central CA - Large Tree Density > 30" Dbh
Large trees are important to forest managers as they have a greater likelihood of survival from fire, provide sources of seed stock, wildlife habitat, and contribute to other... -
Change in Average Climatic Water Deficit
Change in Average Annual Climatic Water Deficit - Near Future - Drier. This raster dataset represents a projection of the difference in the mean annual climatic water deficit... -
Climate Refugia - Baseline (Historical) 1981 - 2010
This raster dataset represents habitat types (natural vegetation communities) and their distribution across the array of climate conditions that each separate habitat type is... -
Climate Refugia - Combined Model (Miroc Model - Hotter and Drier) and...
This raster dataset represents habitat types (Macro Veg Type, largely equivalent to CWHR habitat classes) and their predicted exposure to climate stress across the array of... -
