New editors!
We're happy to welcome Steven Chong and Mark Schildhauer as co-editors. Using our contribution guidelines, they'll be adding valuable cryosphere and carbon cycling terms to support their work with DataONE and related projects.
Remember, ENVO is a community resource - so please consider joining our editorial team or sending us a pull request from time to time!

Description
In this long overdue release, a wide range of classes have been added in aid of ENVO's mission to support community requests and to provide a semantic brokering layer between classification standards in the Earth and environmental sciences. Highlights include:
- Aligning with SWEET over the cryosphere: Monthly Cryohackathons based around Ruth Duerr's extensive work on the Global Cryosphere Watch's vocabularies (and many related vocabularies) have pushed forward ENVO's alignment with ESIP's SWEET resource, using expert input on the cryosphere to do so. We'll soon complete this as a model for future thematic and expert-led semantic alignment.
- WMO cloud classification: Cloud genera have been added to bolster ENVO's atmospheric content. A range of qualities are now needed to fully axiomatise their morphologies and other characteristics.
- CMECS: Ongoing work to express the very detailed and comprehensive Coastal and Marine Classification Standard has yielded some interesting examples, merging organismal taxonomy with geoforms and tightening up semantics around stratified water masses
- Global Ocean Observing System's (GOOS) Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs): Working with UNESCO/IOC, we'll be creating classes for the EOVs, such as sea state, for semantic qualification of GOOS EOV specification sheets and data resources. This work also supports our integration with the UNESCO/IOC-IODE www.OceanBestPractices.org system.
- Land use processes: An important request from our friends over at Nature Scientific Data led to the initialisation of a land use hierarchy. This is highly extensible and we'll be coordinating this with UN Environment's Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology (SDGIO) in the near future.
- UNEP WCMC's mountain classification: Another valuable user request and follow-up with UNEP-WCMC resulted in a semantic expression of their new standard for mountain classification. We'll continue to weave this in to ENVO's elevation semantics in each release.
Known issues
- Semantic handling of zones: The need for and usage of BFO:site in representing environmental zones is an ongoing discussion which may take some time to stabilise. Classes are unlikely to be removed en mass, but they may jump between material and immaterial hierarchies until a policy is formed.
- Orphan classes: At the top level of the onotology, a few orphan classes from FOODON and PO may appear in the release and editors' version. This is likely an import artifact and has no known effects on reasoning. We'll try to root these out in the next release.

This backdated release captures progress across several development threads. Major themes include:
- The expression of IUCN protected area classification for use in SDGIO and other resources handling socio-ecological protection
- Expression of more CMECs classes to enhance marine semantics
- Addition of terms to support GFBio data brokerage to PANGAEA and ENA/EBI
- Further development of environmental zone semantics, with waste disposal use cases
- Further refinement of process hierarchies for generalisabilityF
- Extension of atmospheric semantics across cloud and aerosol formation processes
- Initialisation of dust patterns linked to natural and anthropogenic sources
- Exploration of radiation semantics (processes, dispositions, material entities)
- Import of FOODON classes required by the envoMEO subse now linked to the MEO vocabulary in MicrobeDB.jp
A large number of terms from other ontologies were imported to allow denser axiomatisation. However, many of these are likely to be pruned back in subsequent releases to improve stability. As shown in the commit log, we have also trimmed away imports which 1) are not heavily woven in to ENVO semantics and 2) are causing errors due to autophagic imports of stale ontologies.

Foundations of astrogeology
In this exciting release, we have added a set of foundational classes for astrogeological semantics and planetary science, pusuant to further alignment with the relaunched SWEET ontologies, now under the coordination of the ESIP Federation. This is a further step towards bridging the OBO Foundry and Library Federation to ESIP's semantic technologies, promoting interoperation across the life- and planetary science communities. Mini-Neptunes, hot Jupiters, and mega-Earths all emerged from the protoplanetary mix which we'll continue to weave into the OBO semantic layer, along with tectonics, climates, and weather phenomena.
Ecological refinements
In addition, we celebrate the launch of the Ecological Core Ontology (ECOCORE) at the ClearEarth Hackathon with our long overdue ecosystem.
Through ECOCORE, we look forward to creating a semantic rallying point for the ecological community, as called for in workshops such as LifeWatch and EU DATs Ontology & Semantic Web for Biodiversity & Ecosystem Research. We're working closely with the recently renovated Population and Community Ontology, the
Ontology of Biological Attributes, and the Neuro Behavior Ontology to build a robust and interoperating resource. More information is available here

Lacustrine extensions
With contributions from @jmkeil aligned with work in the LakeBase project, we have expanded and further axiomatised our lake-related hierarchies. As always, more work remains to be done, but we're happy to present a more exhaustive list of lake types and their axiomatisation to the community.
Technical improvements
- We've added an envoAstro subset to gather up celestial content.
- An easy-to-parse TSV file of terms in our various subsets is now available here.
- More handy reports are available (and documented) here
- Our envo.json file has been fixed

Eponyms for this release
- meteor
- The terms for the omics community in our envoEmpo.owl subset
This release features a wide range of new classes and improved axiomatisation across ENVO; however, it is primarily driven by requests from
- the Earth Microbiome Project to axiomatise and integrate the project's EMPO vocabulary into ENVO and other ontologies.
- Several lake-releated classes are being created to support the AquaDiva project and foundational semantics for extending atmospheric semantics have been developed.
- The continuation of work with CESAB and the generation of this synthesis centre's subset
In addition, more upper-level classes from BFO have been imported to begin the restructuring of ENVO's branches for improved axiomatisation, interoperation with other OBO resources, and clarity. Users should prepare for the environmental feature
branch to be markedly restructured (most individual PURLs will not be affected, only their positioning and axioms).
