Source attestations
Each upstream vocabulary's own account of this habitat. Assertion
counts are per-source units and are not comparable across sources —
GOLD counts organisms, BacDive strains, PREGO taxa.
Associated taxa
Taxa reported from this habitat, which is weaker than being
characteristic of it. rank is out of pool: a high rank in a
pool of thousands of near-tied scores is a weak claim. Entries corroborated by a
second, independent source are listed first.
Related terms
Terms a source linked to this concept without this record
claiming to be one of them, or to be narrower than one. A cross-reference, not
a grounding.
Curation
What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built
from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. NCIT:C15189 'Biopsy Procedure' kept as an xref. CLOSE-grounding review (#12): the seeder made NCIT:C15189 'Biopsy Procedure' the identity of BacDive's 'Biopsy' category, 95 strains. A procedure is not a habitat — it is the act of taking the sample, not the place the organism lived, the same category error as grounding a record to an organism or a quality. The habitat is whichever tissue was biopsied, which BacDive does not say, so no term fits. The procedure term is kept as an xref (#99) to record what upstream matched without this repo asserting the record is a procedure. The record was CLINICAL while it carried the NCIT term and would fall to OTHER without one, because the category is inferred from the grounding; a biopsy is a clinical source whether or not a term fits, so the category is pinned rather than lost with the grounding.
