Terrestrial Ecosystem Information Long Table Polygons (TEI_Long_Tbl)

TEI_Long_Tbl contains Terrestrial Ecosystem Information (TEI) polygons with full RISC (Resource Inventory Standards Committee) standard attributes. These describe the physical and biological characteristics of ecosystems at a landscape level. TEI_Short_Tbl and TEI_Project_Boundaries are derived from the TEI_Long_Tbl. COMMENTS: Derived from long table in Operational.gdb after excluding Sensitive Projects (using a BAPID list), for distribution via TEI_Share and the TEI_Data_GDB.zip file on Distribution, and for info requests.

Table created 3/21/2011.This feature class is of type POLYGON, and is projected to NAD_1983_BC_Environment_Albers.

There are 1057 FGDB bytes, and 405 SDE Bytes per row.

The secondary surficial material texture of the second stratum of terrain Component 3 (one of up to three codes). Texture is the size, shape and sorting of particles in clastic sediments (or the proportion and degree of decomposition of plant fibre in organic sediments). Texture codes are shown in the order: tertiary, secondary, dominant, in the terrain label on a map (with the dominant texture adjacent to the surficial material type). See Table: Terrain Texture Codes.
