FATES is currently underestimating harvest rates relative to the forcing dataset, because it isn't transferring the correct amount of unoccupied space between tree crowns to the newly-logged patch when it applies harvest. This is because of a bug in some of the logic handling the edge case for when the forcing file specifies too-tiny logging rates, which is mistakenly zeroing out the rate of logging that is applied to the interstitial area. This PR fixes that.
Description:
There is logic to handle the case when the resulting secondary forest area would be smaller than the minimum FATES patch size. There is a mistaken
else
in that logic that shouldn't be there.Collaborators:
Expectation of Answer Changes:
This will change answers when logging is active.
