On grouping sites together

[sdtaylor]

Crimmens et al does this with the NPN dataset. If multiple individuals are observed at a single site, they take the mean of their budburst/flowering, etc. DOY. I'm not sure if I want to copy it though, as it takes away affects of plasticity.

Solution: do both. More than likely overall results will be exactly the same.

This should apply to all datasets. For some of the LTS datasets I’ll have to decrease the minimum observations required when grouping.
