Not at this point, I think. It currently wouldn't end up doing anything since during initialization fates sp mode calculates the initial dbh from a hard-coded height value: Maybe there is a case to allow the user to change this initial dbh directly instead of calculating it from using the satellite phenology data, but I don't think so (at least not at this point). It would also require a bit of refactor to the sp mode initialization calls. CC'ing @adrifoster for her thoughts. |
