Curation

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

ENVO:03600064 'microbialite' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). 5 GOLD paths share this leaf but differ in setting, not host, so each is a kind of microbialite rather than microbialite itself. Grounding them all to ENVO:03600064 would merge distinct environments; ENVO:03600064 is recorded as a parent instead.
