Summary
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
VARCHAR |
The field CONC refers to "concentration," abundance, or density value of a species at a particular location. For small fur-bearing mammals, this field contains mean harvest densities rounded to the nearest whole acre per individual. The data are reported in units of acre per nest (for example, "86-TO-42-AC/NEST"), which is equivalent to acre per individual. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) fur harvest distribution data for coastal Louisiana from 1972-1985 were used to develop density values for semi-aquatic fur-bearing mammals in each combination of habitat zone (four marsh types, forested wetland areas) across physiographic provinces. For records describing polygons where small fur-bearing mammals were not sampled, the field is populated with either "TRANSIENT" or "RESIDENT", depending on the behavior of each particular species in that habitat type. For the Louisiana black bear, the field is populated with "OCCUPIED" or "TRANSIENT", depending upon the relative probability of occurence in that area. For other mammal species, where no concentration information was available, the field is populated with "-". | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc. |
