Description: DescriptionThe original UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences meadow map, version 1 (Fryjoff and Viers 2012) was a compilation of 44 meadow maps from many sources.  That effort delineated meadows, generally, as open areas greater than 1 acre with wetland vegetation and dominated by herbaceous vegetation.  Woody vegetation was sometimes present to varying degrees but not dominating the meadow.  Versions 2 and 3 retained nearly all of those meadow delineations and added more using the same criteria.  In practice, a meadow is an ecosystem type composed of one or more plant communities dominated by herbaceous species (Drew et al. 2016).  Meadows support plants that use surface water or shallow groundwater (generally at depths of less than 1 meter) during at least 2-4 weeks of the growing season.  Woody vegetation like trees and shrubs may occur and be dense, but are not dominant.   Fryjoff-Hung & Viers, 2012. Sierra Nevada Multi-Source Meadow Polygons Compilation (v 1.0), Center for Watershed Sciences, UC Davis. December 2012.Drew, W. M., Hemphill, N., Keszey, L., Merrill, A., Hunt, L., Fair, J., Yarnell, S., Drexler, J., Henery, R., Wilcox, J., Burnett, R., Podolak, K., Kelley R., Loffland, H., Westmoreland, R., Pope, K. 2016. Sierra Meadows Strategy. Sierra Meadows Partnership Paper 1: PP 40Brief Methods:Version 2, August 2017 – In version 2 of the Sierra Nevada Multi-source Meadow Polygons Compilation, polygon boundaries from the original layer (SNMMPC_v1 - https://meadows.ucdavis.edu/data/4) were updated using ‘heads-up’ digitization from high- resolution (1m) NAIP imagery. In version 1, only polygons larger than one acre were retained in the published layer. In version 2, existing polygon boundaries were split, reduced in size, or merged, and additional polygons not captured in the original layer were digitized. If split, original IDs from version 1 were retained for one half and a new ID was created for the other half. In instances where adjacent meadows were merged together, only one ID was retained and the unused ID was “decommissioned”. If digitized, a new sequential ID was assigned.Version 3, August 2018 – In version 3 of the Sierra Nevada Multi-source Meadow Polygons Compilation, polygons for the entire Sierra National Forest (SNF) were replaced by more accurate data received from the GIS staff on the SNF. As before, if a meadow was split, original IDs from version 2 were retained for one half and a new sequential ID was created for the other half if greater than 1 acre. Unused IDs were “decommissioned”.

Using Zonal Statisitics in ArcGIS, the most abundant lithology in the map unit (ROCKTYPE1) was identified for each meadow. VegetationField: VEG_MAJORITYData Source: LANDFIRE - https://www.landfire.gov/version_comparison.php?mosaic=YUsing Zonal Statisitics in ArcGIS, the 2014 LANDFIRE dataset was used to attribute generalized vegetation (GROUPVEG) to the meadow polygons. SoilsFields: SOIL_SURVEY, SOIL_MUKEY, SOIL_COKEY, SOIL_COMP_NAME, MAPUNIT_Kf, MAPUNIT_ClayTot_rData Source: USDA, Natural Resources Conservation ServiceSSURGO: https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/STATSGO: https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htmSSURGO (1:24,000 scale) datasets were compiled for the entirety of the study area. Gaps were filled with compiled STATSGO data (1:250,000 scale). Components were assigned based on the soil component with the highest representative value in the map unit in which the meadow was located. For each component, the clay and Kf values from the top-most horizon were assigned to each meadow polygon using Zonal Statistics. Note: MAPUNIT_Kf may be null if the mapunit dominant condition is a miscellaneous area component such as Rock outcrop. Also, forested components with organic litter surface horizons will also return a null K-factor when the surface horizon K-factor is used.STATSGO does not have the detail for approximation of soil properties in the mountain meadows. The polygons are so big (Order 4) that they do not recognize the soils in the meadows as unique components, so there are no data for the meadows anywhere in those map units. As for the K and clay values for CA790 (Yosemite NP), because it is a new survey, O horizons were populated for those components. There may be a similar issue with the Tahoe Basin. NRCS does not populate the K factor for O horizons. And, at least at the time, NRCS is not populating any mineral material in the O horizons. Many NRCS national interpretations have been edited to look at the first mineral horizon and exclude the O. There is also a lot of Rock Outcrop and no horizon data are populated for those components.Slope Field: MDW_DEM_SLOPE Data Source: USGS 10m DEMThe median Digital elevation model (DEM) based slope (in degrees) was assigned via Zonal Statistics to each meadow.All meadows have a value for this attribute. Field: STREAM_SLOPE_GRADEData Source: USGS National Hydrograpy Dataset (NHD) - https://nhd.usgs.gov/data.htmlA length-weighted average slope of all NHD flowline segments was calculated within each meadow polygon. Meadows with no NHD flowline will have a NULL value for this attribute.

Dominant geomorphic positionNote that some meadows may cross two or more geomorphic positions. The dominant geomorphic position is given.Field: DOM_GEOMORPHIC_POSLF = Lacustrine Fringe.  Meadows bordering permanent bodies of water including lakes or reservoirs.  The meadow is mostly at the same elevation as the water surface though some meadow stringers may extend upslope.  RIV = RIVerine meadows.  Meadows with perennial or intermittent streams running partly or entirely in the meadow.  The USGS hydrographic layer was used to determine if a stream ran through any part of the meadow.  SLO = SLOpe meadows.  Meadows predominately located on hillslopes, toeslopes, or crests or at the headwaters of streamcourses.  Usually fed by groundwater discharge at or near the surface. May range from wet to dry in surface hydrology and occur on steep slopes to nearly flat.DEP = DEPressional meadows.  Meadows located in a topographic depression.  OwnershipField: OWNERSHIPData Sources by priority:USDA Forest Service Basic Ownership (OWNERCLASSIFICATION) - https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php?dsetCategory=boundariesNational Parks Service (UNIT_NAME) - https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/California Protected Areas Database – CPAD (LAYER) - http://www.calands.org/Protected Area Database-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 (OWN_NAME) - http://consbio.org/products/projects/PAD-US-CBI-establishment-datesOwnership values were assigned to each meadow using the above priorities and Zonal Statistics in ArcGIS.
