SEEDED workflow status. The source-seeding rules supplied this record; consult its curation history for later attributed changes. This status does not establish human review.

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.

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

SOURCE_PARENT_EXCLUDED 2026-10-06 · codex-gpt-5
Excluded GOLD source-path parent contribution ENVO:00001999 for habitatmech:GOLD.115edc36f8 (Environmental > Aquatic > Marine > Intertidal zone). ITEM hierarchy assessment (#1253): NOAA (https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/intertidal-zone.html) describes the tidal shore zone, while official ENVO a2455d1a77e46bb8a664d65a157166b539269042 defines ENVO:00001999 as a lentic marine water body. The zone is not a type of that whole water body. Exclude only this GOLD context contribution; preserve the independent ENVO:00000316 parent, nodes 3770/4013, path, 77 ORGANISM assertions and NARROW/SEEDED status. Preserve the tidal-mudflat shore-zone edge. Source-mapping endpoint semantics remain separately tracked in #1398.
