Item Identification

Title: BIORES
Short Name: BIORES
Status: Completed
Abstract:

The data table BIORES contains both biological attribute data and items necessary for linking vector objects in the biological data layers via the BIO_LUT data table to other associated data tables. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way this table relates to other attribute tables in the ESI data structure. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

Data Attributes

Attribute Summary

Rubric Score Primary Key? Name Type Description
100
RARNUM NUMBER An identifier that links records in the BIORES data table to records in the BIO_LUT data table or the flat format BIOFILE data table. | Description Source: NOAA
100
SPECIES_ID NUMBER Numeric identifier for each species that is unique within each element and refers to a nationwide master ESI species list maintained at NOAA. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
100
CONC Unknown The field CONC refers to "concentration," abundance, or density values. The field may contain counts or ranges of individuals (XX INDIV. or XX-XXXX INDIV.) or in cases where no quantitative count data were available, the field may contain descriptive terms, such as "HIGH" or "COMMON". Descriptive terms were provided by resource experts and are considered relative to the individual species (e.g. a 'high' concentration of one species is not necessarily relative to a 'high' concentration of another). If no concentration information was available from any source, the CONC field is populated with "-". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and may range in date (see Lineage). | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

SEASON_ID NUMBER Numeric identifier for the unique monthly presence and life history characteristics of each species at a given location. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
