Terrain Mapping (TER) Polygon Attributes

Terrain Mapping (TER) Polygon Attributes (STE_TER_ATTRIBUTE_POLYS_SVW) contains TER inventory polygons with key and amalgamated (concatenated) attributes derived from the Resource Inventory Standards Committee (RISC) standard attributes. This layer is derived from the STE_TEI_POLY_ATTRIBUTES_SP layer by filtering on the PROJECT_TYPE attribute. Project types include: TEM, TEMNSS, TEMPRE, TEMSEI, TEMSET, TEMTSM, TSM, TSMREC, TSMDET, TIM, TBS, TBT, TIMSOI, TEMWHR, TEMSDM, TEMPRW, and PEMTBT. TER divides the landscape into units according to surficial materials, landforms and geomorphological processes using the Terrain Classification System for British Columbia. TER methods include manual air photo interpretation supported by selective field checking. Mapping criteria vary considerably between the terrain inventory, bioterrain, and terrain stability mapping projects contained in this layer. TER Polygon Attributes layer should be used in conjunction with TER Project Boundaries which contain boundaries (study areas) and attributes describing each project (project level metadata), plus links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g., reports, polygon datasets,…
