Term: broad-scale past environmental context (past_env_broad)

Report information about the general ancient broad environmental system that the sample or specimen existed or lived within, as it was at the time of deposition or burial (e.g. in the desert or a forest). This should not describe the environment as it is today (e.g. farmland), but specifically the state as it was in the past (i.e. the palaeo- or (pre)historical ecosystem). Compared to env_broad_scale which is taken from direct observation, the information about the past environment will normally be derived from inference from archaeological, palaeontological, geological, or other scientific methods. We recommend using subclasses of EnvO s biome class: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00000428.
