**Table 9: Useful conversions for entering site, management, yield, and trait data**
For many transformations, particularly when automated, please use the udunits2 software where possible. For example, in R, you can use
```
library(udunits2)
## transform meters to mm
ud.convert(10, "m", "mm")
## equivalently, via the udunits synonym database
ud.convert(10, "meters", "millimeters")
## it can also handle more complex units
ud.convert(10, "m/s", "mm/d")
```
