typo on page 29

From a slack discussion with @adrifoster :

Hi Rosie & Ryan, I'm not sure if this is the correct/most updated place for the FATES doc (https://readthedocs.org/projects/fates-docs/downloads/pdf/latest/) but just FYI I found a typo on page 29:
"If 𝐴𝑓 is greater than a threshold value 𝐴𝑡, 𝑆𝑐 is increased by a small increment 𝑖. The threshold 𝐴𝑡 is, hypothetically, the canopy fraction at which light competition begins to impact on tree growth. This is less than 1.0 owing to the non-perfect spatial spacing of tree canopies. If 𝐴𝑓,𝑐𝑙 is greater than 𝐴𝑡, then 𝑆𝑐 is reduced by an increment 𝑖, to reduce the spatial extent of the canopy, thus."

I think the first "If A_f is.." should be "If A_f is less than" if I'm reading the code/equations correctly.

Indeed. Good catch @adrifoster

I think the correction should probably be (notwithstanding that your's is also logically correct)
"If Af is learger than is greater than a threshold value 𝐴𝑡, 𝑆𝑐 is decreased by a
small increment 𝑖."
Because that is generally the order in which things happen. As in, the canopy expands and then Sc gets smaller first..

Okay cool, then the last sentence should also be changed to:

"If 𝐴𝑓,𝑐𝑙 is less than than 𝐴𝑡, then 𝑆𝑐 is increased by an increment 𝑖" and the "to reduce the spatial extent of the canopy" can be moved to the first sentence?
