Slot: broad-scale environmental context (env_broad_scale)

In this field, report which major environmental system your sample or specimen came from. The systems identified should have a coarse spatial grain, to provide the general environmental context of where the sampling was done (e.g. were you in the desert or a rainforest?). We recommend using subclasses of ENVO's biome class: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00000428. Format (one term): termLabel [termID], Format (multiple terms): termLabel [termID]|termLabel [termID]|termLabel [termID]. Example: Annotating a water sample from the photic zone in middle of the Atlantic Ocean, consider: oceanic epipelagic zone biome [ENVO:01000033]. Example: Annotating a sample from the Amazon rainforest consider: tropical moist broadleaf forest biome [ENVO:01000228]. If needed, request new terms on the ENVO tracker, identified here: http://www.obofoundry.org/ontology/envo.html

property value
tooltip The biome or major environmental system where the sample or specimen originated. Choose values from subclasses of the 'biome' class [ENVO:00000428] in the Environment Ontology (ENVO). For host-associated or plant-associated samples, use terms from the UBERON or Plant Ontology to describe the broad anatomical or morphological context
