Allow Static Stand Structure Mode and Phenology #516

Open rgknox opened 5 years ago

rgknox commented 5 years ago

Static Stand Structure mode has in the past allowed for leaf phenology in deciduous plants. This was turned off because it was failing the regression tests (with expanded list of PFTs). This is because the mass fluxes due to leaf drop were never completely coded up.

This is a note to potentially add back in this feature (if there is desire/interest) (for deciduous), and potentially expand it to allow for maintenance turnover and replacement of tissues in evergreens.

@mpaiao highlighting this old issue as something to reconsider in the context of progress on deciduous phenology work. and tagging that here https://github.com/NGEET/fates/pull/958
