Description
Preserve explicit decomposition mesh and exclusion-convention metadata.
Ecological records need explicit sampling units, detection states, effort denominators, interval geometry and trait/abundance bases. Nondetection differs from absence, and shared sampling-unit labels do not alone diagnose pseudoreplication. A one-axis overlap or single weighted contribution is only a limited component of a broader ecological analysis.
Preserve explicit decomposition mesh and exclusion-convention metadata.
When to use this tool
Use Decomposition Mesh Exclusion Label when you already have sampleId, suppliedMeshText, exclusionConvention and need to preserve explicit decomposition mesh and exclusion-convention metadata.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sampleId, suppliedMeshText, exclusionConvention. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter sampleId, suppliedMeshText, exclusionConvention using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| sampleId | Sample Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedMeshText | Supplied Mesh Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| exclusionConvention | Exclusion Convention | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without inferring organism access or decomposition effects. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review original survey records, sampling design, specimens and calibration definitions for an ecological conclusion. Use complete detection, population, community or process models as appropriate; local count rates and source labels do not infer unobserved states or ecological mechanisms.
