Points for discussion

there is already a term called "horizon" [MIXS:0001082] that matches this description, we should probably update the existing term name

We agree with @only1chunts .

ENVO will be working on terms for soil horizons.

OK. so there is no need to add the new term MIXS:0001291, instead, we will update MIXS:0001082, see ticket #232 for the update.
