Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Focused on stabilizing E3SM's perennial crop carbon balance and improving GNU v14 compatibility. Delivered two key contributions: a bug fix in carbon balance calculation for perennial crops (sugarcane) with proper harvest flow, and a GNU v14 compatibility refactor that explicitizes variable usage via 'only:'. These changes enhance model fidelity for carbon cycling, ensure correct perennial crop harvest paths, reduce runtime risk under GNU v14, and improve maintainability through clearer variable usage.
