Topic	Land Cover: USFS Veg Size in Riparian for Floodgate Creek 1994

 

Caption:  This bar chart shows riparian vegetation size classes for the Floodgate Creek Calwater Planning Watershed, derived from a 1994 Landsat image by the U.S. Forest Service. Riparian vegetation is defined here as 90 meters (292.5 feet) on either side of the channel. This planning watershed had 25% of the riparian in medium-large and greater trees, 56% in small-medium and smaller trees and 19% in non-forest. The lack of trees greater than 24 inches in diameter in this band suggests low large wood recruitment potential to streams. The vegetation classification is accurate at a one hectare scale. Click on Map to see spatial data. See Info Links for more information. Vegetation is classified according to diameter at breast height (DBH): Giant = >50" DBH, V Large = 40-50" DBH, Large = 30-39.9" DBH, Medium/Large = 20-29.9" DBH, Small/Medium = 12-19.9" DBH, Small = 5-11.9" DBH, Non-Forest = No trees, shrubs, grass, bare soil.
