greenhouse biome?

[only1chunts]

Hi, Can someone point me to the most appropriate term to use to describe a biome of a managed horticultural greenhouse for the growth of plants in a research setting? for now I am going use this term from AGRO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/AGRO_00000363

This isn't a biome unless you can identify the stable climax community. For a MIxS annotation (see here) you should note the actual biome the greenhouse is embedded in for a good annotation.

What is the record you're trying to annotate?

horticultural greenhouse for the growth of plants in a research setting

We do have some terms for terraria etc, but we should add one for greenhouse but as an env_local field entry, not a biome or env_broad_scale entry.

for now I am going use this term from AGRO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/AGRO_00000363

The semantics here are just wrong (these aren't immaterial entities and are not defined as such) and these terms should be in ENVO and imported into AGRO - @marieALaporte

thanks @pbuttigieg , you are correct it wasn't the broad-scale term I was looking for it was the local scale, in fact looking back we used; Local environmental context: greenhouse [AGRO:00000363] and Broad-scale environmental context: cultivated environment[ENVO:01000311] (see samples of dataset http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/100864)

Note that your use of terms for env_broad_scale is not the recommended one (see here), but is not invalid.

The AGRO representation of greenhouses as sites will likely cause data synthesis issues eventually, however.

I'll leave this open until we create a term in ENVO for greenhouse under human construction

We will obsolete the term in AGRO and import it from ENVO
