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)

property value
tooltip 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
