Summary

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.

Entity Information

Data Attribute / Type Description
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
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.
CONC
Unknown
The field CONC refers to "concentration," abundance, or density values. In the case of invertebrates, no quantitative count data were available, so the field may contain a descriptive term, such as "HIGH" or "COMMON". If no concentration information was available from any source, the field is populated with "-". Concentration estimates were derived from a variety of surveys. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
SEASON_ID
