This really is my favorite benchmark

Cool! As a forester, this is interesting to see being researched. Many models in our field link biomass growth strictly to seasonal temperature thresholds, often considering trees to be 'growing' only when mean daily temperatures exceed 5 or 10 degrees Celsius for a consecutive week in spring, and 'idle' otherwise. So basically not accounting for this new "off-season growth", older research are overlooking a bunch of details and insights into growth dynamics. Using coniferous/decidious species as random effects in models has shown to have an effect - this might be why.

Grattis!
