Abu Dhabi Data Updates #16

Lisa Beers reached out and asked for some changes to her data:

  1. She has data for 'carbon_density', 'DBD_measured_or_modeled', 'OC_measured_or_modeled', 'CD_measured_or_modeled', and 'carbon_profile_notes'. I didn't recognize any of these variable, and it looks like they aren't in our guidance but may have been introduced via the Sanderman synthesis. Should we accept data for these variables? Or, on the other hand, do the Sanderman columns need to be removed? This is probably part of a larger conversation on when we should introduce new columns.

  2. Several of the cores in the dataset originally came from a different publication:

Campbell, J. E., Lacey, E. A., Decker, R. A., Crooks, S., & Fourqurean, J. W. (2015). Carbon storage in seagrass beds of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Estuaries and Coasts, 38(1), 242-251.

I'm assuming it's all the cores with "seagrass" as the ecosystem, but I'll confirm with Lisa. In that case, we can change the primary study ID and list Schile-Beers and Megonigal 2017 as the synthesis citation.
