Description

We need a user facing webpage that:

  • documents the structure of the PFT file for the Plants Model,
  • describes the traits required along with units,
  • provides some examples of PFTs to allow users to sense check values.

This can copy/point to some pyrealm documentation for some traits but not for the ExtraTraitsPFT inputs.
