Currently, we dynamically scale cheatgrass abundance based on two climate variables related to cheatgrass abundance identified in Brummer et al. 2016 (see issue # for more information):
tmin2 = minimum temperature in Feburary
prec7 = precipitation (mm) in July
The current implementation is if either of these checks fails, then cheatgrass relative abundance and space are set to 0:

We have decided to be more conservative and only set cheatgrass relative abundance to 0 when both conditions are met:
