review of Sharma_2010 #249

@mawilliams99 , we'll need to work on Sharma before it's ready to go. Here are the issues I see offhand (noting quickly now before I forget):

SITES: 1- I'm not sure where the site coordinates come from. These apparently describe rather broad regions, as opposed to individual sites.

MEASUREMENTS: Apparently all the data are reported in Table 2, but they are not as originally reported, having been apparently changed by the intermediary database from which they were obtained (Liu_2014_htpa) 2- AGBD = biomass_ag_OM, but original values were converted to biomass_ag_C by assuming 50% C content. (This is done often. Ironically, the study even states the % C assumed, and it is 46 or 47% depending on forest type.) So, we want to change the variable name to biomass_ag_OM and enter those original values. 3- SE values are available; please enter 4- values for biomass_C (TCD) were rounded; please enter full values.

(I also pushed a couple changes that were easier to just fix and push than to describe here.)

I think we can close this.
