This report describes the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Historical Ecology Study, which was conducted to provide foundation information to develop sound large-scale restoration efforts in the Delta. The report documents early 1800s pattern and process in the Delta. Historical habitat type extent and distribution are described, the landscape context explored, and driving hydrological and other physical processes examined.

Recent state policy sets ambitious goals for ecosystem restoration in the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta. The Delta Plan and California Water Code, as well as other regional documents, identify the need to go beyond small-scale habitat restoration to create larger functional landscapes of interconnected habitats. Yet there is little quantitative guidance available to help design the complex spatial systems that are likely to achieve these goals. This report provides the first analysis of ecological landscape metrics in the pre-disturbance and contemporary Delta to help define, design, and...

This report describes a project funded by the National Park Service to collect and assess historical data about the Mt. Wanda unit of the John Muir National Historic Site south of downtown Martinez, CA. The report conducted an initial synthesis of the data to enhance understanding of early ecological conditions, and evaluate the potential benefits of further data collection and analysis.

This document presents a preliminary vision for landscape resilience across the streams, hills, baylands, and urban areas of Silicon Valley. It is a product of Resilient Silicon Valley, a project of the San Francisco Estuary Institute to create a science-based vision for ecosystem health and resilience in Silicon Valley (resilientsv.sfei.org).
The vision outlined here was developed by applying a set of resilience principles (Beller et al. 2015) to Silicon Valley, in collaboration with a team of regional science advisors, to identify landscape elements that are likely to...

The Landscape Resilience Framework is designed to facilitate application of resilience principles to ecosystem management by detailing the seven dimensions of a landscape that contribute to resilience. It represents a synthesis of thinking across empirical ecological studies and social-ecological resilience theory, and was reviewed by a team of expert advisors. Our goal was to create a concise and comprehensive set of key considerations that could be integrated into identifying on-the-ground actions across urban design, conservation planning, and ecosystem management that would contribute...
