ENVO:00001998 ·resolve ·TERRESTRIAL ·EXACT SEEDED

An environmental material which is primarily composed of minerals, varying proportions of sand, silt, and clay, organic material such as humus, interstitial gases, liquids, and a broad range of resident micro- and macroorganisms. — ENVO

Machine-generated and unreviewed. Its grounding comes from the seeder's rules, not from a curator.

Curation

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

REVIEW 2026-08-13 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Multi-source review pass: this record is attested by more than one independent vocabulary, and this source's label or path was read against the record's ontology term to check the merge is right. It agrees. Source concepts in the same pass whose labels did not agree were re-decided rather than endorsed; see the pass's other decisions of the same date. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.3fcb71c158)
