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 value of a habitat or plant at a particular location. No quantitative information on concentrations of SAV or rare plants was available, so the field is populated either with a descriptive term such as "PRESENT", or "-", to indicate that no concentration information was available. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
