Abstract

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.

Description

The BIORES, BREED, SEASONAL, SPECIES, and STATUS tables, required for the deliverable to NOAA, are compressed into a single file, the BIOCOMB, to enhance usability. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
