Dear Jonathan,

Well spotted! I think they should all say 'mass_content'. So we should have 
nitrogen_mass_content_of_forestry_and_agricultural_products (kg m-2) for 
nProduct
soil_mass_content_of_nitrogen (kg m-2) for nSoil.

I will update them in the standard names editor. They will still be published 
in the May update.

In the last update I made some aliases for carbon content names and I've just 
realised I missed one:
vegetation_carbon_content -> vegetation_mass_content_of_carbon (kg m-2).
I'll add this one into the May update.

Best wishes,
Alison

Dear Alison

Yes, I agree with Martin's 13C and 14C names, which I queried. I also agree 
with you about nitrogen_compounds_expressed_as_nitrogen.

Reading through this list, I compared these:

> litter_mass_content_of_nitrogen (kg m-2) 
> nitrogen_content_of_forestry_and_agricultural_products (kg m-2) 
>  (kg m-2) vegetation_mass_content_of_nitrogen (kg 
> m-2)

Why do two of them have mass_content and two just content? 

Best wishes

Jonathan
