U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Appendix A: Grassland Monitoring Project research summary Frequency of sampling For the vegetation sampling, four of the parks, Morgan Territory, Pleasanton Ridge, Sunol-Ohlone, and Vasco Caves, were sampled until the final field year of the Project, 2011. Three other parks, Brushy Peak, Chabot-Fairmont Ridge, and Sycamore Valley, were sampled for vegetation for six years, from 2002-2007. These three parks have good baseline vegetation datasets but were not sampled after 2007 because Brushy Peak and Chabot-Fairmont Ridge contained no appropriate ungrazed comparison areas to pair with grazed plots and therefore were not able to provide information about the effect of management activities on vegetation. In addition, Sycamore Valley and Brushy Peak consistently had the lowest levels of native plant cover and species richness in the study and so provided limited information about the effect of management on native plant species. For the avian sampling, the first two years (2002-2003) are considered pilot years and not included in the analysis. All of the parks included in the avian analysis section of this report (starting with section 7.0) were sampled for the duration of the avian sampling survey, 20042011, with the exception of Chabot-Fairmont Ridge. Chabot-Fairmont Ridge was discontinued in 2008 due to the absence of breeding grassland bird species. Over the ten years (2002-2011) of the Grassland Monitoring Project two other parks were included, Diablo Foothills Regional Park and Point Pinole Regional Shoreline. Diablo Foothills Regional Park (3 riparian restoration plots surveyed in 2003 and 2004) and Point Pinole Regional Shoreline (6 coastal prairie plots surveyed from 2002-2004) were discontinued. It was decided that the Project should focus its resources on Valley grassland surveys. In 2005, the Project added Sunol-Ohlone and increased the number of plots in other parks (see Table A-1 below and 2005 annual report for further details). Annual reports from 2002-2004 include findings for Diablo Foothills and Point Pinole, but because data collection at these parks is limited, we do not discuss Diablo Foothills and Point Pinole in this report. The avian point count survey plots are a subset of the vegetation survey plots because of the methodology requirements that avian surveys must be at least 100 meters from different vegetation, i.e. non-grassland vegetation type, that there be at least 200 meters distance between individual surveys, and that the livestock exclusion fencing was not part of the 100 meter radius of the survey (Sunol-Ohlone’s Valpe Ridge ungrazed plots). See Figures 5.1-5.7 for park maps with plot locations.

BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Plot location Sample plots were randomly located within a stratified design. The strata depended upon the specific park but were generally based on pre-existing management areas. For example, plots at Morgan Territory were randomly chosen from areas already subjected to cattle grazing or no grazing. A majority of plots are located a minimum of 300 meters from shrub or forest habitat (greater than 30% canopy cover of shrubs or trees) so as to limit the study to grassland wildlife species. Due to the space limitations for management areas chosen, Point Pinole and ChabotFairmont Ridge plots have eucalyptus forest habitat within 100 meters. Vegetation survey method Line-point transect research design for the vegetation was as follows: each plot comprised four 17-m vegetation transects radiating in the 4 cardinal directions from a central, permanently marked centroid. From a vertical line dropped perpendicular to the transect line, first-hit plant species was recorded every 10 cm for the first 4.5 m and every 50 cm from 5 to 17 m, for a total of 70 points per transect and 280 points per plot. We also took 2 photos of each transect: 1 from the centroid out to the end of the transect and another from the end of the transect in to the centroid (8 photos per plot). This radial design allowed integration of standard wildlife monitoring protocols with the vegetation monitoring. Avian survey method Point count surveys for the Project follow standardized protocol (Ralph et al. 1995) which allows the data to be part of a larger effort. Variable circular plot point count surveys in grasslands were located at least 250 meters apart the majority of the time, have a 10 minute duration, and a 100 meter radius distance. Bird species are counted through visual or sound observation and the distance of individuals from plot center is estimated for every 10 meters. Three surveys per breeding season, between March 31 and June 15, are necessary to maximize the number of detections in a low-density grassland bird community. Counts are conducted within 3 hours of sunrise to capture highest level of bird activity. Other wildlife survey methods Sampling within vegetation and avian surveys For all years of the Project, vegetation sampling included the documentation of all signs of non-avian vertebrates along the four transects. Attempts were made to identify to species and quantify the various scat, runways, trails, and holes within one meter on either side of each transect. Any sightings of vertebrates during vegetation sampling were noted within the 17 meter radius plots and in the park at large. The avian point count surveys included the documentation of non-avian vertebrates, with notation of location within the 100 meter radius plot and in the park. Ground squirrel visual observations From 2005-2011, California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi) abundance was counted during the avian point count survey. A summary analysis for 2005-2006 is included in the 2006 annual report. No ground squirrels were detected on point count surveys in ungrazed areas within 100 meters of the plot center. Sunol-Ohlone has the highest abundance of squirrels, driven by the population in High Valley. Less than one-third of the Project’s total plots (27%) had squirrel detections using this survey method. A-3 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Small mammal sign habitat modeling analysis A habitat modeling analysis of small mammal sign, using the data collected during the vegetation surveys, included the years 2004 and 2006 and used a new statistical technique, HyperNiche, to estimate the likelihood of occurrence of three species, California vole (Microtus californicus), Botta’s pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae), and California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi). Models were created using environmental variables such as: livestock grazing, soil texture and chemistry, vegetation characteristics, topographic attributes, and plot location within a particular park. HyperNiche identified habitat models that predict species presence for California vole and Botta’s pocket gopher. Low clay soils and the presence of sheep grazing predicted California vole presence in 2004. In 2006, soil characteristics, but not grazing treatment, were more important predictors. Plot location within a park was the only variable included in the best model for pocket gophers in 2004. In 2006, our best pocket gopher model included low clay and higher elevation. It is possible that interannual variability in rainfall and other conditions may affect the importance of environmental variables in predicting species presence year to year. However, factors such as the very small number of vole observations on plot in 2006 and historic small mammal eradication efforts in the study region may reduce our ability to detect habitat associations. Future analysis, including more years of the dataset, may reveal additional information about small mammal habitat associations in different weather years. (2007 Annual Report and 2008 Gaber master’s thesis) Trailmaster Camera-trap wildlife survey Trailmaster cameras were placed on the sampling plots at Vasco Caves from March – September of 2004 in an attempt to document wildlife abundance and diversity not recorded on other surveys. This was the first attempt at using this particular camera system in open grassland areas. At the time, the decision was made to not spend more resources on this survey method due to the difficulties of deployment of this type of camera in grasslands and the small amount of data collected (mostly sheep pictures). This technology is more commonly used in wooded areas and has improved since 2004 in multiple ways. For further details and some humor see the 2004 Annual Report. Insect diversity sampling Methods We used pitfall traps and sweep netting to collect invertebrates for this analysis. All collection was conducted between April 14 and May 29 in 2008. Invertebrates were emptied into a sorting tray and sorted using a 7x – 30x variable light microscope. Invertebrates were sorted by order and subdivided into recognizable taxonomic units (RTUs, taxon based on morphological similarity) that were easily distinguishable and commonly found, while less commonly seen morphotypes were placed into a miscellaneous category for each order. The sorted invertebrates were counted, placed into 20ml bottles, and covered with 95% ethyl alcohol. The bottles were labeled with the plot number, taxonomic unit category and method of collection. Results Sweep netting captured more diptera, hemiptera, homoptera specimens, with other orders comprising fewer than 100 specimens each. Pitfall collections captured more arachnids, A-4 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT hymenoptera, nymphs, coleoptera, and thysanura, with other orders comprising fewer than 100 specimens each. Initial reviews of the data show differences in diversity levels across parks based on livestock grazing. A generalized linear model comparing invertebrate abundance from ungrazed to grazed plots shows several negative effects and one positive effect that grazing has on orderlevel abundance of insects. Sources of error include variation in both time and weather during insect collection. Temperature, humidity, wind, and time-of-day during collection could have effects on the abundance and diversity of insects present on the plots. Additionally, the trend of the diversity indices follow the order of collection of insects from the park, which suggests that diversity levels could be tied to the date of collection, i.e. more diversity is present in mid April than in late May. Finally, because there are a different number of plots collected within each park (VC=17, MT=16, SU=9, and PR=6), the diversity index figures are likely to be higher for parks with a greater number of plots to draw upon. The Shannon Diversity Index ranks Vasco Caves as the most diverse park followed by Morgan Territory, Pleasanton Ridge, and Sunol. Applying the Shannon Diversity Index to each park based on grazing status revealed that grazed plots (by sheep or cattle) have a higher diversity index reading than ungrazed plots. Vasco Caves had the largest difference in diversity between sheep grazed and ungrazed plots. Recommendations for future study include randomizing plot collection both across parks and within parks so that insects are not collected sequentially from one park or from plots within each park. Also randomization with regards to time of collection within specified hours could assist with reducing effects based on collection times. Work from a uniform number of plots within each study site and replicate all treatments within a study site. Future research is needed. Additionally, identifying an entomologist who is able to sort and identify insects to the family level or further would be beneficial for gaining more specific information from the study. (See 2008 annual report) Soil dataset overview Soil samples were collected in 2003 and also 2006, with the addition of more parks to the study. One 10 cm deep soil sample was taken adjacent to each of the four transects of a plot, and transect soil measurements were averaged for overall plot values. The UC Davis DANR Lab conducted the soil analysis. Soil analysis includes cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable calcium, soil particle size (percent sand, silt, and clay), total nitrogen (NH4 and NO3), carbon, phosphorus (Bray P), and pH. Bulk density measurements were also collected. (see 2004 Annual Report, 2007 Gennet PhD dissertation, and 2008 Gaber master’s thesis) Gea-Izquierdo et al. (2007) summarizes an analysis assessing plant and soil relationships using non-normal probability distribution analysis. We investigated the effects of soil characteristics and livestock grazing on native plant occurrence at 40 sites during the period 2003-2005. Low absolute cover (<5.8%) of native species resulted in strongly skewed, zero inflated data sets. To overcome problems in the analysis created by non-normality and correlations within plots, we used generalized models (GLM’s and GLMM’s), either with a Poisson or a Negative binomial distribution, to analyze native species richness and Nassella pulchra cover. Native species richness was highest in soils with low available nitrogen (high C:N), whereas N. pulchra cover was strongly associated with low phosphorus in sandy soils. Under current conditions, phosphorus seems to be a most critical factor influencing abundance of A-5 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT N. pulchra. We conclude that low-fertility soils may be providing refugia for native species in highly invaded California grasslands because the soils in which native species persist at low levels are below a threshold required for non-native annuals to completely dominate. The use of generalized models with non-normal probability distributions is uncommon in ecology whereas being quite common in other biological sciences. However, they are simple and well-suited to analysis of highly non-normal data sets, which strongly suggests valuable applications for ecological data analysis. References Gaber, Christine. 2008.

All plant scientific names follow the first edition of The Jepson Manual (Hickman 1993), although as of the date of this report, the second edition of the Manual is available. The California Invasive Plant Council’s (Cal-IPC) California Invasive Plant Inventory rating categories referred to in the tables are described below: The following description is taken directly from the Cal-IPC website (http://www.calipc.org/ip/inventory/index.php, accessed Fall 2010): Each plant on the list received an overall rating of High, Moderate or Limited based on evaluation using the criteria system. The meaning of these overall ratings is described below. Some plants were categorized as Evaluated But Not Listed because either [Cal-IPC lacks] sufficient information to assign a rating or the available information indicates that the species does not have significant impacts at the present time. • High – These species have severe ecological impacts on physical processes, plant and animal communities, and vegetation structure. Their reproductive biology and other attributes are conducive to moderate to high rates of dispersal and establishment. Most are widely distributed ecologically. • Moderate – These species have substantial and apparent—but generally not severe— ecological impacts on physical processes, plant and animal communities, and vegetation structure. Their reproductive biology and other attributes are conducive to moderate to high rates of dispersal, though establishment is generally dependent upon ecological disturbance. Ecological amplitude and distribution may range from limited to widespread. • Limited – These species are invasive but their ecological impacts are minor on a statewide level or there was not enough information to justify a higher score. Their reproductive biology and other attributes result in low to moderate rates of invasiveness. Ecological amplitude and distribution are generally limited, but these species may be locally persistent and problematic. References Hickman, J.C., ed. 1993. The Jepson manual.

BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Appendix C: Recommended vegetation monitoring methods In this appendix, we describe several vegetation monitoring methods the District may wish to consider: ● Photo points ● Frequency plots ● Relevé plots ● Line-point transects, and ● Residual dry matter (RDM) monitoring and mapping. We refer to several publications, generally available on-line, that provide greater detail on the implementation of these monitoring methods. For the Grassland Monitoring Project, we started sampling in early April at Vasco Caves and proceeded generally westward, finishing the annual sampling effort at Lake ChabotFairmont Ridge in the first week of June. A typical sampling year (2007) saw us at Vasco Caves during April and the first week of May, Brushy Peak in early May, Sunol-Ohlone in mid-May, Morgan Territory in mid- to late May, Pleasanton Ridge at the end of May, and Sycamore Valley followed by Lake Chabot-Fairmont Ridge during the first week of June. Note that this sampling calendar reflects not only regional plant phenology, but also the exigencies of student class schedules, students being the Project’s primary labor input. Estimating time required to complete a plot using the various methods is inexact because plots vary in complexity and personnel vary in expertise. Note that times we provide do not include travel time to plot nor time spent establishing a new plot or re-locating a pre-existing plot. Based on our experience, a trained crew of 5 people takes about 1 hour to complete our 280-point research transects; a line-point transect of 50-100 points would take correspondingly less time. A 100m2 relevé plot takes one experienced field crew member armed with a local species list about 30-60 minutes to complete. A frequency plot of the design described below takes two crew members (one person sampling the quadrats, the other recording the data) about 20 minutes to complete. RDM monitoring and mapping time depends too greatly on the topography, size, RDM variability, vehicular accessibility, etc. of an individual site to generalize with confidence, but in good conditions, an experienced crew of two can cover several hundred acres in a day. Recommended vegetation monitoring methods Table Appendix C-1 lists the recommended vegetation monitoring methods, broadly ranked from least to most expensive, the kind of information that the method provides, and the goals that each method is best suited to meet. By matching goals with appropriate methods, a suitable monitoring methodology can be developed. C-1 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Table Appendix C-1: Recommended vegetation monitoring methods, ranked based on relative cost of the technique and how much information the technique generates: from top to bottom – inexpensive to expensive, limited information to most information Sampling method Data generated Typical goals Permanent photo points Visual evidence of large changes in biomass and species composition Independent check on plant changes indicated by quantitative data; changes in abundance for some invasive species; public presentations Frequency Presence/absence of species of interest Broad changes in species abundance, estimates of species richness Cover: relevé plot Small-scale cover, including rare species; species richness, including rare species; Presence of rare plants; localized changes in species composition, richness, and abundance Cover: line-point transects Cover of dominant species especially; species richness Changes in species composition, abundance; estimates of species richness; functional group analysis; effect of management Residual dry matter (RDM) sampling Dry weight of above ground biomass Monitoring distribution and intensity of grazing; compliance with minimum RDM standards Photo points Permanent (i.e., at a GPS-ed location with a fixed azimuth and a fixed field of view) photo points retaken every year can be an inexpensive but broadly effective method of monitoring for large changes in vegetation, e.g., cover of invasive plants, coyote brush invasion. They can also serve as useful indexes of annual herbaceous production and of residual dry matter (RDM). Frequency plots To monitor species of interest (e.g., native or invasive), the District may wish to employ the frequency plot method. The frequency plot method is “useful for monitoring vegetation changes over time at the same locations or for comparisons of different locations” (Despain et al. 1991) and can provide this information at relatively low cost. Despain et al. (1991) define frequency as: “the number of times a plant species is present within a given number of sample quadrats of uniform size placed repeatedly across a stand of vegetation . . . It is generally expressed as a percentage of total placements and reflects the probability of encountering a particular species at any location within the stand . . .” Average frequency values can be followed from year to year and provide an index of a species’ density and dispersion (Despain et al. 1991). C-2 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Although we did not use this technique for the Grassland Monitoring Project, the UC Berkeley Range Lab has used the technique for other projects. Although frequency plot specifics can vary based on monitoring needs, a frequency plot may, for example, comprise a 10 meter transect with 20 quadrats on alternating sides of the transect. Within each quadrat, we determine whether any individual of the species under consideration is rooted within the quadrat. The resulting metric is the species’ frequency of occurrence in the 20 quadrats of the plot (e.g., if species A occurred in 15 of 20 quadrats along a transect, its frequency for that plot is 0.75). Quadrat size has a significant effect on frequency values (Despain et al. 1991) and so must be carefully selected. Frequency sampling works best when a species’ frequency values fall between 20% and 80% (Despain et al. 1991) so quadrat size must be selected to provide values that fall within that range. Typically, larger-sized quadrats will include sparsely distributed species but will result in almost 100% frequencies for common species, reducing one’s ability to detect change in common species; smaller quadrats solve this problem but can miss sparsely distributed species (Despain et al. 1991). Because frequency varies based on species size, abundance, and distribution in the plot area, it is necessary to determine in the field which quadrat size is most suitable. We initially employ nested quadrats of 5x5 cm, 10x10 cm, 25x25 cm, and 50x50 cm and then determine which quadrat size is most appropriate for the situation. We typically take two photographs of each frequency plot, the first from the start of the transect to the end of the transect and the second in the reverse direction. Relevé plots To monitor native species richness, the District may wish to establish permanent relevé plots (e.g., a 5m x 20m rectangular plot, which gives a100m2 plot) in native species rich sites. Relevé plots should be sited within a single, continuous vegetation type. Field crew visually estimate cover of all species occurring in the relevé. The relevé plot method generates data on rare species, is time- and labor-efficient, and is likely to provide data robust enough for adaptive management needs. It is a technique used by the California Native Plant Society for classifying vegetation and so could allow for comparisons between data from District properties and alliances in the Manual of California Vegetation (Sawyer et al. 2009). The relevé plot method provides data on a site’s species richness including any uncommon species, while the line-point transect method delivers reliable cover values for the site’s dominant species. The UC Berkeley Range Lab has developed a hybrid relevé/line-point transect technique, designed to collect species composition and abundance information in adequate detail at reasonable cost. The technique involves establishing: 1) a permanent 100m2 relevé plot to provide data on plant diversity and capture rare plant species, and 2) four 25-meter, 50-point line-point transects radiating from the corners of the relevé plot to provide data on dominant species cover. The relevé is a 5m by 20m rectangular plot; all species within the relevé are listed with an ocular estimation of cover for each species. Along the line-point transects, field crew record the first species hit every half meter. Again, relevé plots should be sited within a single, continuous vegetation type; if including line-point transects in the plot, be sure the transects also fall within the single, continuous vegetation type. We recommend taking photographs of the relevé plot and the line point transects (in both directions along each transect). C-3 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Line-point transects Line-point transects work well to monitor cover of a dominant species, including purple needlegrass in areas where it is abundant. Transects would also be useful for monitoring cover of native forbs in areas that have abundant cover of multiple forb species. We used line-point transects to collect most of the vegetation data in the Grassland Monitoring Project. We collected line-point transect data at an intensity designed for research purposes; for monitoring, a less intensive and simpler design may be appropriate. For the Grassland Monitoring Project, our line-point transect research design was as follows: each plot comprised four 17-m vegetation transects radiating in the 4 cardinal directions from a central, permanently marked centroid. From a vertical line dropped perpendicular to the transect line, first-hit plant species was recorded every 10 cm for the first 4.5 m and every 50 cm from 5 to 17 m, for a total of 70 points per transect and 280 points per plot. We also took 2 photos of each transect: 1 from the centroid out to the end of the transect and another from the end of the transect in to the centroid (8 photos per plot). This radial design allowed integration of standard wildlife monitoring protocols with the vegetation monitoring (see Appendix A). For monitoring purposes, a possible design could be a 25m transect with points taken every 50cm for 50 points total or a 50m transect with points taken every 50cm for 100 points total, depending on the size of the area of interest and the degree of precision desired. Typically, line-point transects would be sited within a single, continuous vegetation type. Transects should be randomly located within the area of interest, and the azimuth of the transect should be randomly selected (even if the range of acceptable azimuths is constrained). We recommend permanently marking the beginning of transect (either with a stake or rebar or taking a sub-meter GPS reading) and recording the azimuth of the transect. We recommend taking photographs of the line point transects in both directions along each transect. RDM monitoring and mapping The distribution and intensity of grazing can be monitored through assessment of residual dry matter (RDM). Traditionally, the standard method for monitoring RDM requires the establishment of several permanent monitoring locations in a grazed site. In each location, RDM is determined in early fall, before the onset of germinating rain, through the use of photo guides and the comparative yield method. See Bartolome et al. 2006, Bush 2006, Guenther and Hayes 2008 for descriptions of RDM monitoring techniques. The Coastal Training Program at the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve in Watsonville periodically offers wellreceived short-courses on RDM monitoring (see http://www.elkhornsloughctp.org/training/show_train_detail.php?TRAIN_ID=Ho5BX3W, accessed June 2012). Within the last decade, the RDM mapping technique has been developed and implemented in California, an innovation that allows for a clearer picture of the spatial distribution of RDM (Guenther and Hayes 2008; Harris et al. 2002). RDM mapping is easy to learn and often requires less time to complete than the traditional permanent plot-based method, while still producing robust information. Sites with too little or too much RDM can be quickly identified, and solutions based on manipulating animal distribution may also be more easily developed. Annual time-series of RDM maps can be assessed for areas requiring management attention. The Contra Costa Water District has successfully implemented RDM mapping at Los Vaqueros Reservoir. C-4 U.C. BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT RDM mapping requires developing RDM classes (e.g., 0-500 lbs/acre, 500-1000 lbs/acre, >1000 lbs/acre etc.) based on the manager’s goals, and then mapping RDM classes based on visual estimation of fairly large areas (up to several hectares), with either a paper map or GPS inhand. Visual estimations are calibrated during the mapping process by clipping and weighing RDM from small, representative plots (25cm x 25cm quadrat). Photographs are taken of large areas of representative RDM classes and of the plots prior to clipping. References Note: all links current as of June 28, 2012. Bartolome, J., W. Frost, and N.

BERKELEY RANGE ECOLOGY LAB - FINAL REPORT Appendix E: Comparison of EBRPD grassland bird guild data with Breeding Bird Atlas data of Contra Costa and Alameda counties The Breeding Bird Atlas (BBA) for Contra Costa County was conducted in 1998-2002 and for Alameda County in 1993-1997. The atlas information is coded on each map with the EBRPD number codes superimposed. The definitions for possible, probable and confirmed breeder categories are part of the standard BBA protocol. The EBRPD data (breeding bird status table in this appendix) also follows standard BBA protocol and uses all observations of these species in the dataset. EBRPD breeding status categories are coded X = no detections, Obs = individual observed, 1 = possible, 2 = probable, and 3 = confirmed breeder for both atlas comparisons. Point Pinole, a coastal prairie grassland, is included in the distribution information although the Grassland Monitoring Project surveys only include 2003-2004. Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (Parks RFTA) is included in the distribution information because it is a similar grassland area surveyed by the Range Ecology Lab with the same point-count protocol in 2003-2005.
