We, together with postdoc Xia Chen, are starting to model succession from physiological principles based on ForC. I noticed that a datapoint in Finland that I checked had a very high biomass value:

x | y | Forest.type | Stand.age.years. | AGB.t.ha. | Reference -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- 25.11667 | 61.36667 | Natural | 55 | 281.702128 | Makiranta_2012_tiol
I checked from the original publication and even asked one of the authors and we do not understand from where the value of 281 Mg/ha comes from.

Is there another way to report suspicious data values in ForC or is this the way? This is just one row of data but I am afraid that e.g. some rows have jumped and several rows are now having wrong values so it could be wise to trace the source of this potential error. Xia checked and Ben's name was mentioned as the one entering the data.
