@ekluzek I'm asking you to review because you are involved in the removal of the legacy dynamic vegetation model. Feel free to ask somebody else if you prefer. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
@slevis-lmwg went over this and had a few changes to make. But, overall this is good and a nice clarification. Hitting approve so he doesn't have to catch me again for reapproval.

Description of changes
When we introduced landuse files to the CLM many years ago, we made the confusing choice of referring to the changing vegetation in the files as "dynamic" despite already having in place an actual dgvm (dynamic global vegetation model). This was a pet peeve of mine from the start, and I am glad that we have decided to correct the confusion (though people adjusted pretty well all these years :-)), and I am happy to be the one to make the change.
