We quantified the map accuracy for the Sacramento River Monitoring and Assessment Project to help land and water manager’s better plan for restoration efforts.

Subtask 2.1.1 - Map Validation

The Sacramento River vegetation map was validated over the summer (June-September) of 2008.

Subtask 2.2.1 - Change Detection

To measure trends in riparian composition between the two time periods and two datasets with confidence, four (4) data matrices will be constructed and analyzed.

Subtask 2.3.4 - Dataset analyzing vegetation species composition, relative canopy cover and frequency

Floodplain structural and compositional vegetation data were collected to determine the structural biodiversity of floodplains along the Sacramento River.

Subtask 2.1.2 - Cross-walk Comparison and Calibration

We assisted CSU Chico with methodological development of Subtask 2.1.2, which will allow a comparison between the two mapping efforts (1997 – 2007).
