  logical, public :: use_aereoxid_prog = .true. ! if false then aereoxid is read off of
  ! the parameter file and may be modifed by the user (default aereoxid on the
  ! file is 0.0).

  logical, public :: transpirationloss = .true. ! switch for activating CH4 loss from transpiration
                                      ! Transpiration loss assumes that the methane concentration in dissolved soil
                                      ! water remains constant through the plant and is released when the water evaporates
                                      ! from the stomata.
                                      ! Currently hard-wired to true; impact is < 1 Tg CH4/yr

  logical, public :: allowlakeprod = .false. ! Switch to allow production under lakes based on soil carbon dataset
                                     ! (Methane can be produced, and CO2 produced from methane oxidation,
                                     ! which will slowly reduce the available carbon stock, if ! replenishlakec, but no other biogeochem is done.)
                                     ! Note: switching this off turns off ALL lake methane biogeochem. However, 0 values
                                     ! will still be averaged into the concentration _sat history fields.

  logical, public :: usephfact = .false. ! Switch to use pH factor in methane production

  logical, public :: replenishlakec = .true. ! Switch for keeping carbon storage under lakes constant
                                      ! so that lakes do not affect the carbon balance
                                      ! Good for long term rather than transient warming experiments
               ! NOTE SWITCHING THIS OFF ASSUMES TRANSIENT CARBON SUPPLY FROM LAKES; COUPLED MODEL WILL NOT CONSERVE CARBON
               ! IN THIS MODE.

  ! inundatrion fraction -- which is used in methane code and potentially soil code
  integer, public :: finundation_mtd        ! Finundation method type to use, one of the following
  integer, public, parameter :: finundation_mtd_h2osfc        = 0 ! Use prognostic fsat h2osfc
  integer, public, parameter :: finundation_mtd_ZWT_inversion = 1 ! Use inversion of ZWT to Prigent satellite inundation obs. data
  integer, public, parameter :: finundation_mtd_TWS_inversion = 2 ! Use inversion of TWS to Prigent satellite inundation obs. data

  logical, public :: usefrootc = .false.    ! Use CLMCN fine root C rather than ann NPP & LAI based parameterization to
                                    ! calculate tiller C for aerenchyma area calculation.
                                    ! The NPP & LAI param. was based on Wania for Arctic sedges and may not be
                                    ! appropriate for woody Patches, although nongrassporosratio above partly adjusts
                                    ! for this.  However, using fine root C reduces the aerenchyma area by a large
                                    ! factor.

  logical, public :: ch4offline = .true.    ! true --> Methane is not passed between the land & atmosphere.
                                    ! NEM is not added to NEE flux to atm. to correct for methane production,
                                    ! and ambient CH4 is set to constant 2009 value.

  logical, public :: ch4rmcnlim = .false.   ! Remove the N and low moisture limitations on SOM HR when calculating
                                    ! methanogenesis.
                                    ! Note: this option has not been extensively tested.
                                    ! Currently hardwired off.

  logical, public :: anoxicmicrosites = .false. ! Use Arah & Stephen 1998 expression to allow production above the water table
                                        ! Currently hardwired off; expression is crude.

  logical, public :: ch4frzout = .false.    ! Exclude CH4 from frozen fraction of soil pore H2O, to simulate "freeze-out" pulse
                                    ! as in Mastepanov 2008.
                                    ! Causes slight increase in emissions in the fall and decrease in the spring.
