Variable Soil Depths and Expanded History Dimensions
This release contains a change to the interface with E3SM/CTSM. Please ensure that the corresponding API change has been issued in the version of those drivers.
Two changes are contained in this release. Firstly, new history dimensions (age x pft) and (size x age x pft) have been added, along with corresponding new history variables. New history variables are also available to help with lidar comparisons. Thanks Charlie Koven. Secondly, the host land-models CTSM and E3SM now have the capacity to have variable depths of coils at the column (equivalent to fates site) level, and FATES now allocates soil depths accordingly. To facilitate this, a modest refactor of rooting depth functions has been started.
