Description: 
Flag indicates where the particulate nitrogen concentration used to calculate a N2 fixation rate came from; "Tf_MASS_USED" indicates that no data was available for the initial time point to calculate an average across the incubation, and concentration was instead assumed constant across the incubation (and the final time point concentration value was used); no value indicates that the average across the incubation period was used
