  /* The potential evaporation rate accounts for the amount of moisture that
     the atmosphere can absorb.  If we do not account for the amount of
     evaporation from overlying evaporation, we can end up with the situation
     that all vegetation layers and the soil layer transpire/evaporate at the
     potential rate, resulting in an overprediction of the actual evaporation
     rate.  Thus we subtract the amount of evaporation that has already
     been calculated for overlying layers from the potential evaporation.
     Another mechanism that could be used to account for this would be to 
     decrease the vapor pressure deficit while going down through the canopy
