Online_Linkage: http://arnica.csustan.edu/esrpp Description: Abstract: Natural lands targeted for protection as specialty preserves. Purpose: To illustrate the general locations of lands targeted for specialty preserves listed in Table 8 of the SJV Recovery Plan. Supplemental_Information: Public and conservation lands should be adaptively managed to maximize their potential to support listed and sensitive species. Private lands should be protected through conservation or management agreements, acquisition, easements or other mechanisms, then adaptively managed. Management plans should be developed for all protected areas.

Cypher Daniel F. Williams Patrick A. Kelly Nancy Norvell Scott E. Phillips Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The attributes assigned were taken from Table 8. of the SJV Recovery plan and are assumed to be as accurate as the table in the plan. Logical_Consistency_Report: Arcs connect to each other at nodes. Arcs have direction and left and right sides. Arcs that connect to surround an area define a polygon. Completeness_Report: The locations of plant species featured in the SJV Recovery Plan were used to identify areas in need of preserves. Specialty preserves were also chosen to represent the range of ecological conditions under which each species occurred (e.g., latitude/longitude, elevation, plant community, soils). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The data represents general geograpic locations and is not accurate to the parcel level.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The locations of recommended specialty preserves were identified by Ellen Cypher of ESRP with assistance from the following: Mary Ann Showers (Cordylanthus palmatus), Kern County Valley Floor HCP Botanical Worgroup consiting of Jan Knight, Sandra Morey, Gene Cooley, Rhonda Reed, Scott Wilson and Ellen Cypher (Kern County Plants), and the Specialty Preserve subcommittee of the San Joaquin Valley Biological Technical Committee. The locations of plant species featured in the SJV Recovery Plan were used to identify areas in need of preserves. Specialty preserves were also chosen to represent the range of ecological conditions under which each species occurred (e.g., latitude/longitude, elevation, plant community, soils).
