! Changes due to new module structure of the plant canopy model:
!   module plant_canopy_model_mod now contains a subroutine for the 
!   initialization of the canopy model (pcm_init),
!   limitation of the canopy drag (previously accounted for by calculation of 
!   a limiting canopy timestep for the determination of the maximum LES timestep
!   in subroutine timestep) is now realized by the calculation of pre-tendencies
!   and preliminary velocities in subroutine pcm_tendency,
!   some redundant MPI communication removed in subroutine pcm_init
!   (was previously in init_3d_model),
!   unnecessary 3d-arrays lad_u, lad_v, lad_w removed - lad information on the
!   respective grid is now provided only by lad_s (e.g. in the calculation of 
!   the tendency terms or of cum_lai_hf),
!   drag_coefficient, lai, leaf_surface_concentration, 
!   scalar_exchange_coefficient, sec and sls renamed to canopy_drag_coeff, 
!   cum_lai_hf, leaf_surface_conc, leaf_scalar_exch_coeff, lsec and lsc,
!   respectively,
!   unnecessary 3d-arrays cdc, lsc and lsec now defined as single-value constants,

! Description:
! ------------
!> Calculation of the tendency terms, accounting for the effect of the plant
!> canopy on momentum and scalar quantities.
!>
!> The canopy is located where the leaf area density lad_s(k,j,i) > 0.0 
!> (defined on scalar grid), as initialized in subroutine pcm_init. 
!> The lad on the w-grid is vertically interpolated from the surrounding
!> lad_s. The upper boundary of the canopy is defined on the w-grid at 
!> k = pch_index. Here, the lad is zero.
!>
!> The canopy drag must be limited (previously accounted for by calculation of 
!> a limiting canopy timestep for the determination of the maximum LES timestep
!> in subroutine timestep), since it is physically impossible that the canopy
!> drag alone can locally change the sign of a velocity component. This 
!> limitation is realized by calculating preliminary tendencies and velocities.
!> It is subsequently checked if the preliminary new velocity has a different
!> sign than the current velocity. If so, the tendency is limited in a way that
!> the velocity can at maximum be reduced to zero by the canopy drag.
