Palustrine wetlands biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The palustrine wetlands biome is a biome that includes vegetated floodplains, groundwater seeps, and mires with permanent or intermittent surface water. Although water and light are abundant at least periodically, saturation of the soil may result in oxygen deprivation below the ground. This suppresses microbial activity and, in many systems, production exceeds decomposition, resulting in peat accumulation.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620217
Rivers and streams biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The rivers and streams biome is a biome that includes lotic (running water) ecosystems, flowing from elevated uplands or underground springs to deltas, estuaries, and lakes. They are defined primarily by their linear structure, unidirectional flow regimes, and close interaction with the surrounding landscape.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620218
Artificial wetlands biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The artificial wetlands biome is a biome that includes built structures that hold or transfer water for human use, treatment, or disposal, including large storage reservoirs, farm dams or ponds, recreational and ornamental wetlands, rice paddies, freshwater aquafarms, wastewater storages and treatment ponds, and canals, ditches and drains.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620220
Semi-confined transitional waters biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The semi-confined transitional waters biome is a biome that includes coastal inlets that are influenced by inputs of both fresh and marine water from terrestrial catchments and ocean tides, waves, and currents. They include deep-water coastal inlets or fjords mostly restricted to high latitudes, as well as estuaries, bays, and lagoons, which are scattered around coastlines throughout the world.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620221
Marine shelf biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The marine shelf biome is a biome that is distributed globally between the shoreline and deep sea-floor biomes and is dominated by benthic productivity. It includes ecosystems with biogenic substrates (such as seagrass meadows, kelp forests, oyster beds, and coral reefs) and minerogenic substrates including rocky reefs, sandy bottoms, and muddy bottoms.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620222
Pelagic ocean waters biome
Deep sea floors biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The deep sea floors biome is a biome that includes the entire oceanic benthos below ~250 m depth, where there is not enough light to support primary productivity through photosynthesis. It extends from the upper bathyal seafloor to the deepest parts of the ocean, at just under 11 km in the Mariana Trench.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620224
Anthropogenic marine biome
Supralittoral coast biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The supralittoral coastal biome includes the landward extent of the transition from marine to terrestrial biomes. It is elevated above the direct influence of waves and tides (see the Shoreline biome) and beyond the direct influence of freshwater seepage or rivers (see brackish tidal biota). Supratidal coastal ecosystems extend around all the world’s land masses, occupying a fringe from tens of metres to a few kilometres wide and covering the entire extent of many small islands.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620227
Anthropogenic shorelines biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The anthropogenic shorelines biome is a biome that is distributed globally where urbanised and industrial areas adjoin the coast, and includes some more remote structures such as artificial islands. It includes marine interfaces constructed from hard, smooth surfaces, including concrete, timber, lithic blocks, and earthen fill, adjoining, extending or replacing natural shores, or floating in proximity to them.
URI: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620228
Brackish tidal biome
Parent: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001110
Definition: The brackish tidal biome is a biome that is associated with prograding depositional shorelines at the interface of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine realms. The relative influences of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial processes vary from strongly fluvial deltas to marine-dominated intertidal forests and terrestrial-dominated coastal saltmarsh.

Parent: https://w3id.org/elmo/elmo_3620630
Definition: A plant material transfer process in which a human restores the hydroperiod of a peatland by blocking drainage ditches or other means and subsequently moves material from the moss layer (top 10 cm) of another peatland onto the one being restored.
