fix developed_all mortality and dead_removal #20

Closed aldivi closed 6 years ago

aldivi commented 7 years ago

if mortality is assigned to developed all, it just disappears because the carbon is not transferred to another pool (becuse the other pools are zero). also, the current dead_removal assumes that standing dead is removed, but this pool is always zero for now assume a net flux with mortality as the input. to fix: send developed all mortality to standing dead only, even if it is zero, and make sure dead_removal covers all the developed_all area to clear out the dead pool

These have been fixed. The comment above is incorrect. developed mortality is applied to the developed growth as forest management. The mortality rate is still set in the input scenario file, and what happens to the removed biomass is determined by the dead_removal parameters. The mortality amount is transferred within the code from mortality to management.
