substrate type list

[jdeck88]

what values do we put in substrate type?

[chrispmeyer]

I think there is also likely a controlled list for this based on ENVO or something - although I cannot seem to find a list of terms there

The most basic categories would be hard vs. soft

If we have macro habitat - that would include terms like coral reef, mangroves, sand, seagrass, rubble, basalt, etc.

These are the substrate types from the samples in ARMSMetadataMapping Coral reef Dead coral reef Sand Sand/rock Rock

These ones are in the list but i reccomend NOT having 10 cm layer of sediment over a granitic substrate Sandy bottom Sandy bottom/Reef Rock/relic reef Oyster reef Reef

[chrispmeyer]

I’m inclined to just have hard or soft as substrate type and then map that to habitat/macrohabitat? That would accommodate variation on reef building organisms vs sand/mud, etc. Only question would be rubbly areas that are somewhat in between - loosely consolidated reef rubble, etc., but I would classify that as hard. -c
