Note: This is very low priority; it is not expected to be addressed before the ecological model data is added to the DSS, and it may be something we want to complete for the Climate Voyager tool instead of explicitly for the PINEMAP DSS.
Eric Taylor suggested two new tools that might be useful for nurseries:
Growing degree day counts; this Forestry Handbook suggests a base of 55°F
Average dates when various chilling hour thresholds are reached. Eric suggested 200 days and 400 days as sample thresholds; others could be included as well. On the DSS, these would be displayed as the average calendar date when these thresholds are reached.
