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.

Curation

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

  1. CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-10-06 · codex-gpt-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Nearest broader term ENVO:03000033 'marine sediment' attached as a parent. ITEM assessment (#1567). Path: Environmental > Aquatic > Marine > Neritic zone/Coastal water > Subtidal zone sediment. This is a qualified marine sediment habitat, not coastal sea-water material. ENVO:03000033 (marine sediment) is a strictly broader genus verified against the current official ENVO ontology and committed slice; no exact term is established for this qualified source. Retain the minted identity and omitted organism count, with no source-mapping predicate. A guarded exclusion removes only the separate coastal-water context edge. No generic-sediment merge, universal grain size, depth, taxa or transferred biosample count is asserted. Supersedes the unassessed August 12 CLASS rationale, preserved in append-only session provenance. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.785879d721)

  2. SOURCE_PARENT_EXCLUDED 2026-10-06 · codex-gpt-5

    Excluded GOLD source-path parent contribution ENVO:00002150 for habitatmech:GOLD.785879d721 (Environmental > Aquatic > Marine > Neritic zone/Coastal water > Subtidal zone sediment). ITEM hierarchy assessment (#1567): this source denotes marine sediment, not the coastal sea-water material ENVO:00002150 in its path. Exclude only that context contribution; independently add ENVO:03000033 through the ITEM decision while preserving the qualified mint, GOLD7948, path and zero-organism-count omission. The 74 bulk biosamples are not organisms. Official ENVO a2455d1a77e46bb8a664d65a157166b539269042 distinguishes the material genera; no exact identity, depth, sediment composition or source-mapping predicate is inferred.
