Calculation of a new variable - correlation between default temperature and default phenological activity to be passed into updated function scale_phenology #223

Instead of rescaling biomass, litter, and % live fractions based solely on temperature, we will now utilize phenological activity to adjust these fractions. This will require knowing the current relationship between default temperature (InputData_MonthlyTemp.csv) and the default phenological activity (InputData_Phenology.csv). This correlation coefficient for each functional type will then be utilized to rescale biomass, litter, and % live fractions based on the actual temperature of a given site.

This variable will be passed in as a new argument to the function scale_phenology in Vegetation.R

The function now requires the default phenological activity values (instead of the correlation between default temperature and default phenological activity), so I am closing this issue.
