Parameters

Supplied Name	Supplied description	Supplied Units	Standard Name
dataset	The dataset (percent cover or density) that the species key pertains to.	unitless	datatype
sample_subtype	This parameter only pertains to the percent cover dataset. It describes the type of percent cover observation. Values include: SUBSTRATE (size of rock or sand over which the observation is taken); RELIEF (vertical relief within a 1m x 0.5m box around the sampled point); COVER (type of biotic subtrate associated cover present the uppermost layer at the observation point); SUPERLAYER (organisms which are super-numerous but not attached to the bottom and would not therefore otherwise be captured by the density or percent cover samping methods.)	unitless	sample
classcode	The unique taxonomic or functional classification code that is being counted as defined in the PISCO classification table. This refers to a code that defines the Genus and Species.	unitless	species
genus	Genus of organism identified.	unitless	genus
species	Species name of organism identified.	unitless	species
common_name	Common name of organism identified.	unitless	common_name
