Carbon tracking vignette and permafrost c pool

[kdorheim]

Looking at the carbon tracking vignette there is some unexpected behavior in the first figure, without the permafrost module activated wouldn't we expect the permafrost carbon pool to be 0?

[dawnlwoodard]

what's the total amount of carbon in there? Like is it some miniscule amount or an actually substantial quantity? And does the ini file the run is using show 0 for the pool?

Ah! Good catch @dawnlwoodard! The total (sum of all source_name)permafrost_c is 0 over the entire run. So it is behaving as expected not a bug which is great news. Okay well may be in that case we should update the vignette with a note explaining this results/may be not include the permafrost_c pool in the plot?

Great! Glad it was that easy haha. But yes sounds like the vignette should probably be updated to not include that plot to avoid confusion.
