Merge remote-tracking branch 'needhamfork/JFN-soilmoisture' (PR #5508)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This PR changes the condition for a higher initial value of soil moisture so that all FATES runs, not just FATES-Hydro, will be initialized with higher soil moisture.
This is to improve the establishment of forest in bare ground simulations.
See FATES issue here NGEET/fates#994 and discussion here NGEET/fates#985.
