Incorporate the "general" ecuations that are available (check if these equations are already in Erika's tables) #8

Ervan suggested that the most specific equations (i.e. closer geographically or of higher taxonomic resolution) not always may be the best equaiton. Instead, best might be one generic ecuation. [Here generic means not “of taxonomic genus level”; it means general – an equation that has been produced based on measuring many trees]. He said that there are generic equations for three reigons: North America, Europe and China. For each region there may be multiple equaitons: one per each taxonomical group.

Those generic equations seem to be a relatively easy first step. That is, I could use them to try and improve the prototype code I wrote. Those equations may be tabled independently, or may be incorporated into Erika’s table (some of those generic equations already be in Erika’s table, but we may need to check with Ervan that we are talking about the same equaitons).

A generalized equation used in North America is from Chojnacky et al. 2014. I also selected the one from Jenkins et al. 2004. We can use them for many NA species that do not have a specific equation. Mauro, they are both on the allotemp_main table.

Seems like @gonzalezeb has this sorted.
