Update temperature cost function for symbiotic Nfix in FUN

[wwieder]

Description of changes

Updates temperature cost function of Nfix using lab measurements from Bytnerowicz et al. (2022), see Supplementary Table 3.

Specific notes

Replaces the Houlton temperature cost function that's currently used in CNFUN.

• requires updated parameter file with min, optimum, and max temperatures for tropical and extra-tropical PFTs. /glade/work/wwieder/modified_inputs/ctsm60_params_nfix.c241101.nc

Updated temperature function (below in blue) compared to the default temperature function from Houlton et al (orange) to calculate C costs of N fix in FUN (second figure).

Contributors other than yourself, if any:
Tom Bytnerowicz, @tbytnero, t.bytnerowicz@ufl.edu

CTSM Issues Fixed (include github issue #):
None

Are answers expected to change (and if so in what way)?
Reduces temperate N fix and vegetation C pools. Also modifies temporal changes over historical and SSP scenarios.

Diagnostics from CRU-JRA forced runs at f19 posted here

Issue on LMWG-dev linked here
Discussion on Nfix started on LMWG-dev

Any User Interface Changes (namelist or namelist defaults changes)?
TODO add namelist option for Bytnerowicz vs. Houlton Nfix cost function

Does this create a need to change or add documentation? Did you do so?
Needs to be added to documentation, not currently done

Testing performed, if any:
Ran scientific tests in point simulations (CLM5.1 code base) and global 2 degree spinup, historical and SSP2-4.5 case.

Given that the new temperature cost function will be included in the ctsm6 release, we will need to re-run the One-at-a-time parameter ensemble. To do so, we will need a tag that is greater than ctsm5.3.010 with this new cost function added.

We will also need a parameter file that is compatible with ctsm5.3.010 (ctsm60_params.c241017.nc) and adds the three new parameters from this function.

I'll also need a restart from the 2-degree spinup Will already ran.

@linniahawkins and @ekluzek I've:

• Removed unnecessary usermods from this PR
• Updated to the latest dev tag, 012.
• Added new parameters for Tom's nfix function to the default parameter file ctsm60_params.c241017.nc. This can be used / seen here paramfile = '/glade/work/wwieder/modified_inputs/ctsm60_params.c241114.nc'
• Created, built, & ran a case to test that things still work /glade/work/wwieder/ctsm5.3.0/ctsm5.3.012_f19_nfix_test
• Initial condition files for f19 are here

finidat = '/glade/derecho/scratch/wwieder/archive/ctsm530_f19_nfix_pSASU/rest/0161-01-01-00000/ctsm530_f19_nfix_pSASU.clm2.r.0161-01-01-00000.nc'

Next steps would be to:

1. Erik creates a branch tag for Linnia

• Will / @olyson checks 1850 survivability in the default f19_PPE case and the f19_nfix cases

3. Will / Erik adds a namelist option for the nfix_temperature_method = 1 (Houlton function from CLM5)
4. Bring PR onto b4b-dev
5. Answer changing tag to master, setting nfix_temperature_method =2 (Tom's function)

Let me know what you think of this plan and what I've missed.

Doesn't seem like the NFIX changes make a big impact on arctic survival. Dead grids (max ELAI < 0.1) for PPE and NFix cases are on the left and center. max LAIs from the PPE where Nfix case is dead are on the right.

Testing on Derecho and Izumi are as expected other than the following which fail, because they need update parameter files

ERS_Ld3.f10_f10_mg37.I2000Clm60Bgc.derecho_intel.clm-ciso_cwd_hr (RUN)
ERS_Ld3.f10_f10_mg37.I2000Clm60Bgc.derecho_intel.clm-ciso_cwd_hr--clm-matrixcnOn (RUN)
