+      <description>The area type of "air" distinguishes the atmospheric portion of a domain from the land portion (or any other non-air portion). It is needed when a variable such as wind speed is reported, for example, on a surface at mean sea level pressure. At most locations over land, this surface would be underground and would need to be excluded from consideration, which could be indicated by specifying a cell_ methods "where air".</description>

     <description>"Natural grasses" means grasses growing in areas of low productivity, often situated on rough or uneven ground. This can include rocky areas, briars and heathland. A "c4 plant" is one that utilizes the C4 carbon fixation pathway in which the CO2 is first bound to a compound containing four carbon atoms before photosynthesis reactions take place. All trees are C3 type. Grasses and crops can be C3 or C4.</description>
