yet the actual concept on which this synonym belongs, ENVO:01001209 "wetland ecosystem" lacks the synonym
this is very confusing for a user of ENVO who is looking for the most appropriate concept to annotate wetland data - concepts like "backwater" or "heath" will show up in an exact search, but the actual relevant concept won't.
proposal:
remove wetland as a synonym for all the above
add wetland as an exact synonym for "wetland ecosystem"
here is what the distribution of matches across the tree looks like
We may also want to think about rearranging some of this
