Link GeOMe habitat terms to ENVO environmental terms #548
Comments
Hi @jdeck88! As you mention, we can cook up and maintain a subset for your community, similar to how we added NLCD classes for NEON (see #458).
We should have many of those in ENVO already, the task would be to check that the definitions work for the GeOMe community. We can create new, related terms if they need different semantics. In general, it's always better to propose some definitions for the requested terms, to make sure we're on the same page. For example, I'm not clear on what "Fouling" is referring to and what kind of plankton "Planktonic" references.
I think the top levels of the wwfBiome subset or the ncld2011 subset would do the trick. More can be added later if the GeOMe teams need them. |
A first order mapping below. In all cases, the classes are referring to the material entities themselves, rather than the environments around them and determined by their presence. The latter kind of semantics can also be generated if you prefer.

A user provided this definition of fouling in our context: A fouling community is a group of organisms found on artificial hard structure in a marine habitat - docks, boats, jetties, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fouling_community |
I went through the entire list of terms that have actually been used as part of GeOMe and it turns out some of what was on our list have not yet been used. Terms that have been used for habitat include only "coral reef, estuary, intertidal, pelagic, planktonic, river, seagrass". Some of these are zones and in one case a material (planktonic). My suggestion is to include these, along with the ENVO biomes list to form the GeOMe habitat list. I've attached the proposed spreadsheet here. |

@pbuttigieg this is almost complete from the geome perspective... see the habitat spreadsheet i uploaded in the last comment which we are now using to define our list of available habitat descriptions for GeOMe. I would like to still make a subset in ENVO, however, so leaving this issue open. Complete this in Ottawa? |
I think I can get most of this done beforehand. Thanks for the material!

GeOMe has a list of existing habitat types that are marine that we want to map to ENVO environment terms. The current list is: Coral Reef, Estuary, Intertidal, Fouling, Macroalgae, Mangrove, Mud, Continental shelf, Pelagic, Planktonic, River, Rock, Sand, Seagrass
In addition, we want to introduce a broad level of classification of terrestrial habitat (environmental) terms that we can use. At the broadest, this would be: Anthropegenic, desert, forest, grassland, mangrove, shrubland, woodland.
Finally, great if we can create a GeOMe subset in ENVO to help us manage these terms.
