Slot: environmental medium (env_medium)

Report the environmental material(s) immediately surrounding the sample or specimen at the time of sampling. We recommend using subclasses of 'environmental material' (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00010483). EnvO documentation about how to use the field: https://github.com/EnvironmentOntology/envo/wiki/Using-ENVO-with-MIxS . Terms from other OBO ontologies are permissible as long as they reference mass/volume nouns (e.g. air, water, blood) and not discrete, countable entities (e.g. a tree, a leaf, a table top).

    value: The material displaced by the entity at time of sampling. Recommend subclasses
      of environmental material [ENVO:00010483].

    value: The predominant environmental material or substrate that directly surrounds
      or hosts the sample or specimen at the time of sampling. Choose values from
      subclasses of the 'environmental material' class [ENVO:00010483] in the Environment
      Ontology (ENVO). Values for this field should be measurable or mass material
      nouns, representing continuous environmental materials. For host-associated
      or plant-associated samples, use terms from the UBERON or Plant Ontology to
      indicate a tissue, organ, or plant structure
