Using High Resolution Satellite and Telemetry Data to Track Flooded Habitats, Their Use by Waterfowl, and Evaluate Effects of Drought on Waterfowl and Shorebird Bioenergetics in California

Wetland managers in the Central Valley of California, a dynamic hydrological landscape, require information regarding the amount and location of existing wetland habitat to make decisions on how to best use water resources to support multiple wildlife objectives, particularly during drought. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey Western Ecological Research Center (WERC), Point Blue Conservation Science (Point Blue), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) partnered to learn how wetland and flooded agricultural habitats used by waterfowl and shorebirds change during the non-breeding season (July–April) particularly during drought. During extreme drought conditions, the ability to provide sufficient water...

Vegetation data for 1970-1999, 2035-2064, and 2070-2099 for 59 vegetation types

Terrestrial ecosystems are vulnerable to future changes in the global climate, including increased temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and changes in vegetation. Information on the potential effects of climate change on bird communities can help guide effective conservation and inform land management decisions. We used output from MC2, a dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM), and climate models to inform the potential distribution of vegetation types based on hybrid vegetation maps dervied from the GAP vegetation classification system. These hybrid vegetation models were then used to inform bird distribution models0. The data covers three time periods (1970-1999), (2035-2064), and (2070-2099) for 59...
