Melanic brunisol (MB). These are brunisolic soils [that have] a relatively high degree of base saturation as indicated by their pH. They occur typically under deciduous or mixed forest vegetation on materials of high base status in areas of boreal to mesic temperature class and humid moisture subclass, but they are not restricted to such environments. 1, record 1, English, - melanic%20brunisol

The size of a piece of DNA is measured in nucleotides (nt), base pairs (bp), kilobases (kb or kbp = 1000 bp) or megabases (Mb or Mbp = 1 000 000 bp). Because DNA is virtually always double-stranded, the distinction between bases and base pairs is often ignored when talking about the size of a piece of DNA. Thus a DNA double helix comprising one million base pairs can be described as either 1 Mbp or 1 Mb – it is not 2 Mb. 2, record 5, English, - megabase

Atmospheric pressure is measured in two units, hectopascals (hPa) and inches of mercury (Hg). The hectopascal is the international unit of measure for atmospheric pressure and inches of mercury are used in the U.S. for aviation purposes. 7, record 12, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 12, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In the U.S., air pressure at the surface is reported in inches of mercury while air pressure aloft is reported in millibars, also known as hectopascals (hPa). Scientists, however, generally use pressures in hectopascals. In the rest of the world, measurements are usually given in hectopascals although you will sometimes see them in centimeters of mercury, especially on older barometers. The term "hectopascals" is replacing the term "millibars." 8, record 12, English, - hectopascal
