5 years ago table 2 caption:
Phenology models used in the analysis. Parameters for each model are as follows: For the Naive model \overline{DOY} is the mean day of year (ie. the julian date) of a phenological event; for the Linear model \beta{1} and \beta{2} are the intercept and slope, respectively; for the GDD model F^{} is the total accumulated forcing required, t{1} is the start date of forcing accumulation, and T{base} is the threshold daily mean temperature above which forcing accumulates; for the Fixed GDD model F^{} is the total accumulated forcing required; for the Alternating model $NCD$ is the number of chill days (daily mean temperature below 0$^{\circ}$C) from DOY=0 to the DOY of the phenological event, $a$,$b$, and $c$ are the three fitted model coefficients; for the Uniforc model t{1} is F^{*} is the total accumulated forcing required, t{1} is the start date of forcing accumulation, and $b$ and $c$ are two additional fitted parameters which define the sigmoid function; the M1 model is as the GDD model, but with the additional fitted parameter $k$ which adjusts the total forcing accumulation according to day length; the MSB model is as the Alternating model, but with the additional fitted parameter $d$ to correct the model according to mean spring temperature.

I've changed this from "This difference is likely due to variation in phenological requirements within species." to "This difference in the cross-scale model comparison is likely due to variation in phenological requirements within species."
Thank you for catching this. This is part typo, part complex analysis. I've reworded the Figure S1 caption to be more clear. 33 in the Fg. S1 caption should be 32. Figure S1 only uses USA-NPN data and thus has 32 comparisons to make. The main text Line 137 stating 35 comparisons is correct since 3 species are in both the Harvard and Hubbard Brook datasets, thus there are 3 more comparisons to use in the primary analysis comparing USA-NPN and LTER datasets.
I have reordered this table to the same order the models are introduced in the text.
I have added parameter descriptions in the table 2 captions.
Everything below has been corrected.
[x] l. 224. comma should be semi-colon.
[x] l. 240. Fix "two models sets".
should be "two model sets"
[x] l. 260. Should be "Uniforc or GDD model".
[x] l. 262 and 352. Data = plural.
[x] l. 351. Insert commas before and after "though".
