By "numeric", do you mean numerical system for citation?
Meanwhile, from the author guidelines, you may use either Vancouver numerical system or Harvard alphabetical system for publication in ERL.
"You may use either of these two systems for your references (unless you are submitting to Fluid Dynamics Research, Journal of Geophysics & Engineering, Physics in Medicine and Biology or Physiological Measurement, which require all references to be written using the Harvard alphabetical style), or Nuclear Fusion, which requires all references to be written using the Vancouver numerical system)."
Alternatively you can request a style, mentioning the current "environmental-research-letters.csl" is using "institute-of-physics-harvard.csl" as parent and you would like to get an alternative style referring to Vancouver system.
re the dependent style. @adamsmith: ERL is set as a dependent style for the author-date style. Just checked papers. 5 out of 6 had the author-date and 1 the numeric style. I suggest we keep it as is.
I meant two distinct and clear ERL style names: one with numerical system and one with alphabetical system. It is not intuitive to search for "institute of physics" when one is searching for "environmental research letter" with numeric system.

@adamsmith Should we add another dependent style?

Please see my comment above.
Yes, a separate ERL style for alphabetical and numeric systems would be really helpful.
