     ! and species list, and the number of boundary conditions of each 3 types.
     !
     ! This is called very early on in the call sequence of the model, and should occur
     ! before any plants start being initialized.  These mapping tables must 
     ! exist before that happens.  This initialization only happens once on each
     ! machine, and the mapping will be read-only, and a global thing. This step
     ! is not initializing the data structures bound to the plants.
     !
     ! There are two mapping tables.  One mapping table is a 2d array organized
     ! by organ and species, that contains the variable index:
     ! 
     ! prt_global%sp_organ_map

     ! The other mapping table is similar, but it is a 1D array, a list of the organs.

    !
    ! This is the main routine that handles allocation associated with the 1st
    ! hypothesis;  carbon only, and growth governed by allometry
    ! 
    ! This routine is explained in the technical documentation in detail.
    !
    ! Some points:
    ! 1) dbh, while not a PARTEH "state variable", is passed in from FATES (or other
    !    model), is integrated along with the mass based state variables, and then
    !    passed back to the ecosystem model. It is a "inout" style boundary condition.
    !
    ! 2) It is assumed that both growth respiration, and maintenance respiration
    !    costs have already been paid, and therefore the "carbon_balance" boundary
    !    condition is the net carbon gained by the plant over the coarse of the day.
    !    Think of "daily integrated NPP".
    ! 
    ! 3) This routine will completely spend carbon_balance if it enters as a positive 
    !    value, or replace carbon balance (using storage) if it enters as a negative value.
    !    
    ! 4) It is assumed that the ecosystem model calling this routine has ensured that
    !    the net amount of negative carbon is no greater than that which can be replaced
    !    by storage.  This routine will crash gracefully if that is not true.
    !
    ! 5) Leaves and fine-roots are given top priority, but just to replace maintenance 
    !    turnover. This can also draw from strorage.
    ! 
    ! 6) Storage is given next available carbon gain, either to push up to zero, 
    !    or to use it to top off stores.
    !
    ! 7) Third priority is then given to leaves and fine-roots again, but can only use
    !    carbon gain. Also, this transfer will attempt to get pools up to allometry.
    ! 
    ! 8) Fourth priority is to bring other live pools up to allometry, and then structure.
    ! 
    ! 9) Finally, if carbon is yet still available, it will grow all pools out concurrently
    !    including some to reproduction.
