This changes the default value of the comp_excln parameter to -1. This leads to the use of the rank-ordered sorting scheme, rather than the current-default probabilistic scheme. The main reason for doing this is that it results in fewer cohorts and therefore makes the model faster, which may be particularly important when increasing the number of canopy layers in #1315. It also has the effect of tending to slightly favor early-successional PFTs, as shown in fig. 13 of Koven et al, 2020, though that is not something that will show up in the kind of global nocomp and SP-mode simulations that this parameter file is currently mainly being aimed at.

I think this is a good idea, as we noted, most of our implementations at the moment do not use the competition feature, leading to large duplication of cohorts betweem canopy layers, so this will likely provide non-trivial efficiencies....

@ckoven should this close #303?

That is so old I don't really remember the nature of the problem, but probably?

this commit doesn't include the base_file refenced in the patch as that
will become available via NGEET#1358 when these are merged together
glemieux added a commit to ckoven/fates that referenced this pull request May 8, 2025
The workflow for merging these should run NGEET#1358 prior to this patch so
this patch should use the default to make sure to include NGEET#1358 changes

See #1406 (comment) for discussion of test results. This PR will be automerged when #1406 will be integrated into main.

updates to the default parameter file

This update includes a phenology parameter refactor per NGEET#1355, an update
to the default exclusion parameter per NGEET#1358, updates to the logging
parameters to default to clearcut via NGEET#1359, and a minor long name
correction per NGEET#1394.
