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: NOAA ESI Guidelines

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: NOAA ESI Guidelines
100
 CONC Unknown The field CONC refers to concentration, abundance, or density values of invertebrates present at a particular location. The field contains descriptive terms such as "RARE", "COMMON", "ABUNDANT", or "HIGHLY ABUNDANT". Oyster concentrations include "REEF" (consolidated and permanent oyster reef), "UNCONSOLIDATED" (patchy but significant settlements of oyster communities), "HIGH" (high dredge catch without known reef structure), "LOW" (positive dredge catch without known reef structure), and "PRESENT" (unmapped areas with known oyster populations). If no concentration information was available from any source, the field was populated with "-". | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines
