These terms are relevant for soil and sediment samples. NMDC needs to capture the size fraction for soil that is water extracted or sediment that is filtered for EMSL records. Suggest allowing this term for more packages.

size_frac is in core under nucleic acid sequence section Definition implies it is referring to the biosample. However, section implies to me that it's about how the DNA was. filtered. NMDC is leaving this term out until the definition is clarified.
