Title: Add generic BioGeoChemistry interface for coupling ALM with alternative soil BGC modules
Requirements and Design
ACME Land Group

Summary
Requirements
Requirement: Provide a generic data structure
Date last modified:
Contributors: Gangsheng Wang (Unlicensed)
Provide a generic data structure that includes potential input and output variables.
Requirement: Provide generic functions/subroutines to facilitate the use of the interface
Date last modified:
Contributors: Gangsheng Wang (Unlicensed)
Provide generic functions/subroutines to implement data passing between the vegetation and soil BGC sub-models
Requirement: Modify ALM code to separate soil BGC sub-model from vegetation sub-model
Date last modified:
Contributors: Gangsheng Wang (Unlicensed)
Modify ALM subroutines to make the soil BGC sub-model standalone. Thus any alternative soil BGC sub-model (e.g., pflotran or BeTR) can be called to replace the original ALM soil BGC sub-model.
Requirement: Run ALM soil BGC sub-model through the interface

Contributors: Gangsheng Wang (Unlicensed)
Enable running the standalone ALM soil BGC sub-model by using the interface data structure and functions/subroutines.
