Connectivity Linkages and Condition, DRECP

These data represent linkages where maintenance or restoration of ecological connectivity is essential for conserving biological diversity within the DRECP area. Current condition of linkages is represented by terrestrial intactness scores at 1km resolution, calculated by version 15a of CBI’s EEMS fuzzy logic model, which integrates multiple measures of landscape development and vegetation intactness.Linkages (which do not include wildland or habitat blocks) include the following:1) Linkages identified by SC Wildlands as part of the California Desert Connectivity Project (http://databasin.org/datasets/85d73316b5ab4816b56ed21787ed78a2). 2) Desert Tortoise TCA habitat linkages, representing least cost pathways that connect all desert [...]
