This release, v24.0.0, made the following updates to ICM v23.0.0:
- Self-packing density of mineral component of marsh soils (
mn_k2) was updated to 2.173 g/cm^3 based upon updated soil properties data available in CRMS; analysis conducted by Dr. Maddie Foster-Martinez in 2024. The previous value used for MP2023 was set to 2.106 g/cm^3; documentation and methodology is described in Appendix A of Baustian et al., (2020). Updated data required no changes to organic self-packing density. - Updates to input variables passed into ICM-Morph to account for updated ICM-LAVegMod output files produced by ICM-LAVegMod-Fortran
