In Intro:

Kerkhoff et al. [-@kerkhoff_plant_2005] and Michaletz et al. [-@michaletz_convergence_2014] found no significant relationship between growing season temperature and net primary productivity (loosely defined to include a mix of **VARIABLES**) standardized to growing season length. While this suggests that the influence of temperature may be limited to determining the length of the frost-free growing season, *analysis with clearly defined variables and standardized forest ages would be necessary to test the the veracity and generality of this hypothesis.

Note (because this is more complex than I want to put in the manuscript): Kerkoff looked at ANPP. Michaletz looked at "NPP", but it appears to be a mix of ANPP, NPP, and maybe ANPP_stem.
