Dear Jonathan, Alison,
(a) carbon_dioxide vs. 13C_dioxide: I agree that carbon_dioxide is correct and clearer;
(b) surface_upward_mass_flux_of_nitrogen_compounds_expressed_as_nitrogen: I selected the shorter form (surface_upward_mass_flux_of_nitrogen) for consistency with terms such as "stem_mass_content_of_nitrogen", but I'm happy to go with the longer form if it is considered necessary;
(c) mass_content: thanks for spotting the error,
regards,
Martin

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
