For annual species, min eind
will also be defined, which represents the minimum number of individuals for annual species biomass to be > 0.
Proposed implementation:
if rel abun > 0 {
relative abundance * (max eind - min eind) + min eind
}
This implementation will distinguish species that have relative abundance = 0 from those that have a very small relative abundance. Thus all species with relative abundance > 0 will be simulated.
Currently the maximum number of individuals that can establish in each year is fixed. To represent geographic differences in plant functional type abundance, eind will now vary across sites and climate scenarios and will be set dynamically based on a site's climate and the climate-derived relative abundance of each plant functional type derived in function
