Biomass dynamics by tree size

[JessicaNeedham]

It would be good to get some benchmarks into ILAMB that assess how well vegetation demographic models are capturing tree demography. As a starting point, Piponiot et al. 2022 have data on aboveground biomass, aboveground woody productivity, and aboveground woody mortality by DBH (diameter at breast height) class for 25 plots across tropical and temperate forests. Although it a relatively small set of sites, it could act as a template for additional datasets.
