BERVO
The Biological and Environmental Research Variable Ontology is a repo-first ontology for earth and environmental research variables. The browser below is generated directly from src/ontology/bervo-src.csv, so it will usually reflect newer changes than the current BioPortal release.
Ecological Ontology Explorer

Search BERVO IDs, labels, definitions, categories, parentage, units, and more.

The detail pane shows definition, parentage, synonyms, and related curation fields.
Editing Workflow
The repo-tracked source of truth is src/ontology/bervo-src.csv. The ODK editor file is src/ontology/bervo-edit.owl, and the generated component is src/ontology/components/bervo-src.owl.
Contributing
Use GitHub issues and pull requests for change requests. The Google Sheet can still support collaboration, but it is not the authoritative source for releases.
