Open mdietze opened 10 years ago
This is a list of grass species and their mechanisms of photosynthesis.
Here are two options for encoding this information:
I think encoding this as PFTs makes the most sense, but could see the value in adding this to the species table, similar to the USDA plants database from which it was derived.
I don't like option 1 because PFTs are model specific and I anticipate many models needing or wanting to subdivide these into finer PFTs by biome, crop, etc.
A 4th option would be to just register the data with the Inputs table and then look it up when and where it's needed. But given that it's 'trait' data I think the 2nd or 3rd makes more sense. I tend to lean towards 2.
This issue is stale because it has been open 365 days with no activity.
