Technical Documentation for FATES
===================================

FATES is the "Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator". It is an external module which can run within a given "Host Land Model" (HLM). Currently (November 2017) implementations are supported in both the Community Land Model of the Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CLM-CTSM) and in the Energy Exascale Earth Systems Model's Land Model (E3SM-LM).
