Suggestion 2)

kpalmqui commented 7 years ago

A little clarification on STEPWAT2 functional groups if we pursue Suggestion 2):

p.cool.forb = C3 perennial cool-season forbs p.warm.forb = C3 perennial warm-season forbs a.cool.forb = C3 annual cool-season forbs a.warm.forb = C3 annual warm-season forbs p.cool.grass = C3 perennial grasses p.warm.grass = C4 perennial grasses a.cool.grass = C3 annual grasses a.warm.grass = C4 annual grasses

There are so few C4 forb species in big sagebrush ecosystems, we designate C3 cool-season and C3 warm-season forbs instead.
