All ecological measurements (plant height, animal count, soil pH, air temperature) in Ecoplots are represented as observations. (TERN’s LinkedData site has more information about Observations).
Observations
You can use this endpoint to extract observations based on several search criteria (see Search queries).
To retrieve observation data available in EcoPlots, you should use the /observations endpoint.

Users may be only be interested in a small number of the observations that are available. In that case, it would be useful to use extract observations based on several search criteria. Refer to the Search queries section for more details.
