FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
Item | Item Description | |
OBJECTID |
Internal feature number. |
|
Shape |
Feature geometry. |
|
S_NAME |
Species Scientific Name. |
|
COM_NAME |
Species Common Name. |
|
TAX_GROUP |
Abbreviation for the taxonomic group of the observed species.
|
|
FED_STATUS |
Abbreviation for the Federal listing classification un the US Endangered Species Act. FEDERAL LEGAL STATUS (U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service- USFWS) Provided by FNAI for information only. For official definitions and lists of protected species, consult the relevant federal agency. Definitions derived from U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973, Sec. 3. Note that the federal status given by FNAI refers only to Florida populations and that federal status may differ elsewhere.
|
|
ST_STATUS |
State Protection Status - an abbreviation of the official endangerment status or level of legal protection the state assigns to this species. ANIMALS: Definitions derived from "Florida's Endangered Species and Species of Special Concern, Official Lists" published by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), 1 Aug 1997 , and subsequent updates. PLANTS (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services- FDACS) Definitions derived from Sections 581.011 and 581.185(2), Florida Statutes, and the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act, 5B-40.001. FNAI does not track all state-regulated plant species; for a complete list of state-regulated plant species, call Florida Division of Plant Industry, 352-372-3505 or see: http://doacs.state.fl.us/pi/images/rule05b.pdf
|
|
GLOBAL_RNK |
Global Rank - abbreviation of the worldwide status rank assigned by FNAI. The global element rank is based on an element's worldwide status. Element ranks are based on many factors, the most important ones being estimated number of Element Occurrences (EOs), estimated abundance (number of individuals for species; area for natural communities), range, estimated number of adequately protected EOs, relative threat of destruction, and ecological fragility.
|
|
ST_RANK |
State Rank - abbreviation of the status rank within the state of Florida assigned by FNAI. The state element rank is based on the status of the element in Florida. Element ranks are based on many factors, the most important ones being estimated number of Element Occurrences (EOs), estimated abundance (number of individuals for species; area for natural communities), range, estimated number of adequately protected EOs, relative threat of destruction, and ecological fragility.

Please Note: The Global and State Element ranks were populated using the following PDF from FNAI: http://www.fnai.org/PDF/Element_tracking_summary_201009.pdf The above PDF is updated quarterly. Although the list of tracked elements is reasonably stable, the tracking status of an individual element is subject to change. Thus at any moment in time the actual list of tracked elements may vary from that presented above. |
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
