Description

Apparently, the following line
call get_curr_date(kyr, kmo, kda, mcsec)
was deleted inadvertently in NitrogenStateUpdate1Mod.F90 and PhosphorusStateUpdate1Mod.F90 during one of the update.

This will cause error or model crash when the code is configured to do fertilization experiments.

Research direction

Start by opening NitrogenStateUpdate1Mod.F90 and PhosphorusStateUpdate1Mod.F90 and inspect the fertilization-experiment paths around the state update logic. Confirm how get_curr_date(kyr, kmo, kda, mcsec) is used there. Done means the forest_fert_exp configuration no longer errors or crashes during nitrogen or phosphorus fertilization experiments.
