NB: Many of these conversions have been automated within [PEcAn](https://github.com/PecanProject/pecan).  ### Root Respiration  Convert from root respiration data reported in George et al (where O\(_2\)  was measured in µL to units of mass 

values are different, it is not likely that Q\(_{10}\) or the atmospheric  pressure at time of measurement would explain this error.  #### Convert to units in BETYdb, find \(\textrm{k}\)  : \(\textrm{k}\):  \(\textrm{k}\times\frac{\mu\mathrm{L}\ \textrm{O}_2}{10\mathrm{mg}\ \mathrm{root}\ \mathrm{h}} = \frac{\mu\mathrm{mol}\ \mathrm{CO}_2}{\mathrm{kg}\ \mathrm{s}}\)
