!| Description:
! the number of trees is updated considering the mortality of the plants.
! for each tree that dies, a fraction mi of the mean biomass
! three types of mortality are considered: 
!
! 1. The first mortality is due to the self thinning (the one included in 3PG), 
!     which basically ensures that the mean single-tree stem biomass WS does 
!     not exceed the maximum permissible single-tree stem biomass 
!     WSx (kg·trees-1) (Sands, 2004). We assume the maximum target density
!     is reached after 1 year
!
! 2. The second mortality is age dependent mortality following the approach 
!     of `LPJ-GUESS` (Smith et al., 2014), with aging the plants become 
!     more suceptible to the wind, diseases, etc.
!
! 3. the third mortality is the so called the "crowding competition function", 
!     this mortality insures that the % of cover of pixel do not exceed the 95%
