Can we use the BODC Parameter Usage Vocabulary semantic model here?
For example:
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P01/current/WWBMM00Z/ -> Wet weight biomass of phytoplankton per unit volume of the water body by optical microscopy and computation by morphometric method
Less granular:
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P01/current/SDBIOL04/ -> Wet weight biomass of biological entity specified elsewhere per unit volume of the water body

We can map to it, but we first need to know what the semantics actually are. As we saw in the meeting, this isn't just a label matching exercise.
Further, this model is not a formal one - it's forcing expressivity that SKOS can't handle into an overloaded term.
Just a note that CSIRO have formalized the model in https://w3id.org/env/puv, but I'm also looking into OBOE.
just noting that BODC/NSV has some mappings from P01 to EOV (in A05) using the puv structuring indeed - but they seem to have abandoned that strategyin favour of the IADOPT approach
see https://github.com/vliz-be-opsci/nvsSPARQL/blob/feature/showcase-template-queries/templated-queries/02-eov-matching.ipynb for some testing on what they have available
for obvious completeness: their existing workings in no way limit our freedom to design, create and manage any external mapping - just adding this to make sure we don´t overlook what is already there.
Working from discussions/outcomes from the GOOS BioEco Panel this week, and numerous ancillary discussions with GOOS OCG and other bodies, we will assist the BioEco Panel in drafting a semantic framework to stabilise the definitional space of the EOVs and their categories.
