The data table BIOCOMB contains biological attribute data and key fields for linking to the vector objects in the biological data layers and to the associated data table, 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. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

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 counts of individuals (XX BIRDS) or approximate counts using order of magnitude (e.g., 10s, 100s). In cases where no quantitative count data was available, the field may either be blank or contain descriptive terms such as "HIGH" or "COMMON". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and may range in date.
Acceptable values change from atlas to atlas.
