DB Table Name Table Notes Description Fields (Columns)
stratum Stratum Definition This table stores collective information about strata defined within a plot observation. This table is used to record non-species-specific information about a stratum. Examples include total cover of the stratum and maximum height of the stratum.

stratumMethod Stratum Method This table links a set of strata to a sampling protocol . This table, when combined a set of linked stratum occurrences, defines the strata used by a plot observer.   STRATUMMETHOD_IDID  reference_IDReference  stratumMethodNameStratum Method Name  stratumMethodDescriptionStratum Method Description  stratumAssignmentStratum Assignment  accessionCodeAccession Code

taxonImportance Taxon Importance This table stores information about the importance (i.e. cover, basal area, biomass) of each taxon observed on a plot. Records may be limited to one stratum or apply to all strata.   taxonImportance_IDTaxon Importance ID  taxonObservation_IDTaxon  stratum_IDStratum  coverCover  basalAreaBasal Area  biomassBiomass  inferenceAreaInference Area

note Note This table is where notations associated with table records are stored All notes associated with plots and plot observations are stored in this table. These notes can be linked to any table, record and attribute via the noteLink table.

noteLink Note Link This table links a note made by a database user or manager to a specific table, record and attribute in the database. This table was developed with the goal of keeping all the notes associated with the plots in a single table rather than distributed in many tables across the database.

observation Observation This table stores plot observation results that might vary between official observation events. Observation is a child of plot in recognition of the fact that a plot may be re-sampled and that some of the environmental conditions may change between resampling events.

observationContributor Observation Contributor This table stores information about which parties contributed to specific plot observation events. This table serves as an intersection that links a party with a specific plot observation event. Note that there is no plotContributor table because all contributions take place at a particular observation, such as the first observation.
