to me this looks like a simple change of name accidentally let through when the soil package was created, the "soil_horizon" term should be changed to just "horizon" as it is the same MIXS ID and definition already.

Proposed action

Update soil package term name "soil_horizon" MIXSID:0001082 to "horizon" MIXSID:0001082

@only1chunts @ramonawalls @turbomam can we check in about this at the call in 04/16? And add it to the CIG agenda if needed?

We checked in about this on 04/16 (@only1chunts, @Woolly-at-EBI )

horizon and soil_horizon had the same ID.

To do

• change description to "soil horizon ENVO:03600030
  http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_03600030 A soil layer which is parallel to the soil surface and which has roughly homogenous physical, chemical and biological properties relative to the soil layers above or beneath it."

NCBI showed 0 use of horizon 19k use of soil_horizon 8k horizon_meth/method 0 soil horizon_meth

Resolved. horizon was removed. soil_horizon is available in soil & agriculture.
