Bulk density - here we are! #14

First pass at this calculation. Red points = NEON measurements at horizon closest to surface. Boxplot = derived.

By eye, it seems the site-to-site pattern is consistent.

More later.

Here is a table of reported bulk density calculations from NEON:

Notice WREF - does that seem a little low to you?

Think I am figuring this out -.

The bulk density come from different depths from soil cores (I account for this in the neonSoilFlux package). But when I was writing the code for the previous plots, I was just taking the top bulk density. I think we need to look at this as a range of values across the entire soil column. So when we compare the two bulk density calculations, there will end up being two histograms: one derived from the LICOR (as before) and one from NEON.

Maybe visualize via a split violin plot e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/73471952 ?

Closing this issue, as I think we are going to go in favor of a diffusivity plot.
