  ! DESCRIPTION
  ! module contains different subroutines to do soil nutrient competition dynamics
  !
  ! FIXME(bja, 2015-08) This module was copied from
  ! NutrientCompetitionCLM45default then flexible cn modifications
  ! were added for the clm50 nitrogen science changes (r120). There is
  ! a significant amount of duplicate code between the two
  ! modules. They need to be reexamined and the common code pulled out
  ! into a common base class.

                  !It might be worth a rewrite to capture what I was trying to do, but the retranslocation for
                  !corn and wheat begins at the beginning of the grain fill stage, but for soybean I was holding it
                  !until after the leaf and stem decline were complete. Looking at how astem is calculated, once the
                  !stem decline is near complete, astem should (usually) be set to astemf. The reason for holding off
                  !on soybean is that the retranslocation scheme begins at the beginning of the grain phase, when the
                  !leaf and stem are still growing, but declining. Since carbon is still getting allocated and now
                  !there is more nitrogen available, the nitrogen can be diverted from grain. For corn and wheat
                  !the impact was probably enough to boost productivity, but for soybean the nitrogen was better off
                  !fulfilling the grain fill. It seems that if the peak lai is reached for soybean though that this
                  !would be bypassed altogether, not the intended outcome. I checked several of my output files and
                  !they all seemed to be going through the retranslocation loop for soybean - good news.
