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. ENVO:00002204 'anthropogenic contamination feature' kept as an xref. Risky-grounding review (#12): the seeder made ENVO:00002204 'anthropogenic contamination feature' the identity of BacDive's 'Contamination' category — the highest-volume risky grounding at 474 strains. The term asserts two things BacDive does not: that the contamination is anthropogenic, and that the thing is a geographic feature with elevated contaminants in its materials. BacDive's category says only that a strain was isolated as a contaminant, which is as often of a product, a culture or a cleanroom as of a place. These are different concepts rather than a broader and a narrower one, so the term is not a parent either — parent_habitats asserts the parent is BROADER. Kept as an xref (#99), which records that upstream saw a connection without this repo asserting one. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.0c0740efd8)
