Initialise an 14x0 tibble for storing biota metadata

Usage

initialise_biota_tibble()

Value

A tibble with 0 rows and standardised biota columns

Details

Biota data extends sample information with species-specific details including taxonomic classification, tissue type, life stage, and gender information. The tibble includes the following columns:

SAMPLE_ID: Unique identifier linking to the samples table (mandatory, foreign key for measurements)

SITE_CODE: Code identifying the sampling location (mandatory, foreign key for sites)

PARAMETER_NAME: Name of the measured parameter or stressor (mandatory, foreign key for parameters)

ENVIRON_COMPARTMENT: Broad environmental compartment category (mandatory, inherited from samples)

ENVIRON_COMPARTMENT_SUB: Specific sub-category of the environmental compartment (mandatory, inherited from samples)

MEASURED_CATEGORY: Category indicating measurement context (mandatory, inherited from samples)

SAMPLING_DATE: Date when the biological sample was collected (mandatory, inherited from samples)

SUBSAMPLE: Identifier for subsample or replicate (mandatory, inherited from samples)

SPECIES_GROUP: Taxonomic group classification, e.g., Fish, Molluscs, Plants (mandatory)

SAMPLE_SPECIES: Scientific binomial name of the sampled species (mandatory)

SAMPLE_TISSUE: Type of biological tissue sampled (mandatory)

SAMPLE_SPECIES_LIFESTAGE: Life stage of the organism at sampling (mandatory)

SAMPLE_SPECIES_GENDER: Gender or sex of the sampled organism (mandatory)

BIOTA_COMMENT: Additional notes or comments about the biological sample (optional)

See vignette("biota_data") for more information.
