I've made a bit of progress, but I'm worried that thich changes a few things. In particular it changes the structure of the taxon.table. Not the end of the world (it adds a new column). The bigger issue is how we would represent the columns in the count
table. I had initially intended to just rename the taxa, with the taxon and then the variable units, but it might make more sense to use a unique ID. Neither case works particularly well with compile_download
though.
This is now addressed fully through changes in several commits, but fully resolved with commit https://github.com/ropensci/neotoma/commit/6219196cff136b11b455ad51317d08237b73f347, where we provide an aliased taxon name composed of all variable modifiers. This appears to work with water chemistry.
With water chemistry it makes no sense to average e.g, surface and bottom water.
