Data Set
Completed
The data table BIOFILE contains biological attribute data and key fields for linking to the vector objects in the biological data layers and to the associated data tables, BREED_DT and SOURCES. See the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview for a detailed description of how the primary attribute tables relate to the geographic data layers. Also 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.

CONC
TEXT
20
No
No
Active
The field CONC refers to concentration, abundance or density values, and may contain counts of individuals for each species present at a particular nesting or wintering site, or a term that describes relative abundance of birds at a particular site. The field may contain values from exact counts (e.g., XX BIRDS, XX PAIRS, or XX ADULTS), or binned counts (e.g., 10S, 100S, 1,000S). In cases where no quantitative data were available, the field may contain descriptive terms, such as "HIGH" or "POSSIBLE." If no concentration information was available, the field is populated with "-". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and may range in date (see Lineage).
Acceptable values change from atlas to atlas. May be qualitative or a number of individuals. A hyphen “-“ is used to denote no data.

Values will show a month or range of months (e.g., JAN-MAY) when a particular life stage is observed. A value of "-" indicates the life stage or activity is not present or was not reported. A value of "N/A" indicates that the breed category is not used or not appropriate for the element referenced. This attribute does not apply to the BENTHIC, HABITAT, or T_MAMMAL elements.
Life history stage or activity type, varies by ELEMENT. If ELEMENT is "BIRD" then BREED1 = nesting; if ELEMENT is "FISH" or "INVERT" then BREED1 = spawning; if ELEMENT is "HERP" then BREED1 = nesting; if ELEMENT is "M_MAMMAL" then BREED1 = mating.
