[CF-metadata] two standard names for same quantity?

I noticed that "subsurface_litter_carbon_content" has the same
"definition" as "surface_litter_carbon_content":? "Content" indicates a
quantity per unit area. "Litter carbon" is dead plant material in or
above the soil quantified as the mass of carbon which it contains. The
surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere.

Is there a difference or are these two names aliases for the same quantity?
