Observation Unit. If a level has an ``ObservationUnit`` associated
with it, include the ``observationUnitDbId``. This is intended to
construct a strict hierarchy of observationUnits. If there is no
``ObservationUnit`` associated with this level, the
``observationUnitDbId`` field can set to NULL or omitted from the

like this. In this example, the Block level has an associated
``ObservationUnit`` so the ``observationUnitDbId`` is included, while
the Field level has no associated ``ObservationUnit``, so the
``observationUnitDbId`` is null for the Field level.
