Environmental Thesaurus

Abbreviation: EnvThes

General Information

The Environmental Thesaurus is a controlled vocabulary built to aid integration of the data resulting from long term ecological research and monitoring in Europe (eLTER). It provides described and semantically well defined terms for later analysis and it serves as harmonized specification of parameters in the observation and measurement of ecosystem processes.
