Those deemed to be of conservation concern are tracked. Spatial data is collected for tracked elements and used to create Element Occurrences. ACIMS is the Alberta member of the international network of NatureServe Conservation Data Centers. The Government of Alberta is the owner of the Element data stored in the NatureServe Canada Biotics database. Species-related elements include: 1) species [example: Dwarf Woollyheads (Psilocarphus brevissimus)], 2) infraspecific taxa including subspecies, varieties, populations and hybrids [example:variety of Dwarf Woollyheads present in Canada (Psilocarphus brevissimus var. brevissimus)], and 3) non-taxonomic biological entities, such as breeding bird colonies, which are important to species level conservation.

Esri ArcGIS 13.0.3.36057 <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset contains the current ACIMS Species-related Elements of Biodiversity (Elements) recorded for Alberta. Elements are biodiversity units for which a conservation status rank can be assigned. Elements can be recognized at different taxonomic levels. Elements in the ACIMS database include species, subspecies, and varieties. They also include ecological communities and other non-taxonomic biological entities (for example, migratory species aggregation areas). The Element of Biodiversity concept is part of NatureServe methodology. This methodology is used throughout the NatureServe network. </SPAN><SPAN>This data updates on a daily basis.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> Alberta Conservation Information Management System ACIMS Ecological Element Occurrence EO Species Subspecies Element Elements of biodiversity NatureServe Alberta, Canada Disclaimer and limitation of liability: ACIMS Data accessible through this product , are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or other violation of rights.

Public/Unrestricted Government of Alberta Data and Information Security Classification https://imtpolicy.sp.alberta.ca/standards/Pages/Data-and-Information-Security-Classification.aspx ACIMS endeavors to list all species elements reported for the province, usually in conjunction with the General Status of Wild Species process. Through this process, taxonomic experts compile lists of species reported for Alberta and calculate their ranks (S-Ranks). These lists are used to update the ACIMS database. New species related elements can also be added to ACIMS based on verified data sources such as scientific papers and museum or herbarium records. Updating species related elements is a big task and ongoing project. New information is constantly coming forward and changes in taxonomy are being made as various element groups are studied and revised. Not all element groups are included yet, and some are incomplete. Once species related elements are added to the ACIMS system they are ranked, and some are added to the track or watch lists. The results of a data search by ACIMS are not intended as a final statement on the presence, absence or condition of elements within a given area, or as a substitute for on-site surveys which may be required for environmental assessments. Many individuals and organizations have contributed data to the Alberta Conservation Information Management System (ACIMS). Many areas in Alberta have never been comprehensively surveyed.
