Area Tomales Bay
Topic Land Cover: USFS Veg Size in Tomales Bay Riparian Zones 1994
 
Caption:  This chart shows vegetation size classes in 90-m riparian buffers in the Tomales Bay sub-basin, derived from a 1994 Landsat image by the U.S. Forest Service. Nicks Cove's riparian zone is primarily non-forest; forested areas contain small/medium trees. Forested riparian areas within Millerton Gulch and Inverness Calwaters contain small/medium trees with small trees and saplings. The vegetation classification is accurate at a one-hectare scale and is suitable for stand classification. Vegetation is classified according to diameter at breast height (DBH): Very 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, Saplings = 1-4.9" DBH, Non-Forest = No trees, shrubs, grass, bare soil. See Map for the USFS Landsat riparian vegetation GIS layer and Info Links for more information.
