Update input parameters for cheatgrass #461

Closed chaukap closed 4 years ago

chaukap commented 4 years ago

As mentioned in issue #324 we need to remove all three input parameters for cheatgrass: cheatgrass_coefficient, wild_fire_slope and ignition.

However, we still need a switch to turn on and off cheatgrass driven wildfire. I'm not sure where to put the parameter so I would like to open this issue up to that discussion. We could put the parameter in rgroup.in but it would not be an rgroup-specific parameter, so it wouldn't match the rest of the inputs.

@chaukap @menglandjohns given the rest of the fire parameters are held in rgroup.in, this makes the most sense to me. It is not ideal, given this file contains functional group specific inputs. However, I don't see a better option. Happy to entertain your ideas.

Cheatgrass wildfire is now turned on and off using a single flag in rgroup.in.
