Terrestrial Ecosystem Information (TEI) Project Boundaries 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, plotfiles, legends). TEI project boundaries should be used in conjunction with TEI detailed inventory polygons which describe the physical and biological attributes of ecosystems. TEI currently includes six broad project types: Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (TEM), Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM), Terrain Mapping (TER), Sensitive Ecosystem Inventory (SEI), Soil Mapping (SL), and Wildlife Mapping (WLD). TEI inventory polygons with full Resources Information Standards Committee (RISC) attributes can be accessed through the Terrestrial Ecosystem Information (TEI) Data Distribution Packages. TEI inventory polygons with simplified and amalgamated (concatenated) RISC attributes can be accessed through the Terrestrial Ecosystem Information (TEI) Detailed Polygons with Short Table Attribute Table.
