{ "currentVersion": 10.81, "serviceDescription": "Degree of human modification and resistance surfaces for California, 2017. To model the resistance to ecological flow across California as the main input to a connectivity model (e.g., Circuitscape), we generated a resistance surface (R) modeled from the degree of human modification (H) layer. The resistance surface was calculated as: R = (H + 1.0)^10 to mute the differences between natural lands and accentuate the differences between converted lands. We did this following a sensitivity analysis of different rescaling options. To calculate the degree of human modification, we followed methods described in Theobald (2013), with adjustments to include the number of lands in highways (footprint = 30 m for each lane), as well as roads on private forested lands, and additional power line and oil/gas pipelines. We also adjusted lakes, rivers, and estuaries to the highest resistance (using rivers from USGS NHD High resolution polygon rivers). A list of stressors (or threats to natural lands) was organized based on The Human Activities Framework (Salafsky et al. 2008). At the top level, stressors are organized into five Level I classes: residential and commercial development, agriculture, energy production and mining, transportation and service corridors, and biological harvesting. These are further broken into 1-3 specific activities, resulting in 11 Level II classes. For each stressor, specific datasets were used on which to calculate a specific indicator(s). In total, nearly two-dozen datasets were used to depict 14 types of human activities. Thus, the overall degree of human modification (H) at a location is calculated as: H = I x F, where a value of 0.0 has no human modification and a value of 1.0 has high modification. This dataset was resampled using the mean value from the original 30 m resolution to 810 m. We recommend that any analysis should consider a minimum mapping unit of roughly 810 m (cell size, roughly 160 acres).
