FATES Hydro

This release contains the beta version of plant hydraulics by Christoffersen and Xu et al.. Plant hydraulics has been tested an developed at key sites, but limited testing has been performed globally and will be developed in later releases. Hydraulics also has limited support during growth, and some features need to be added to address the flux of water bound in dying vegetation back into the ecosystem and water-balances on newly recruited plants.

The API tag was incremented to denote a new parameter was added, and thus parameter files must now include the scalar: fates_hydr_kmax_rsurf.
