Description

An oversight on my part when we first programmed this, but we should definitely store the abundance factor with the other basic variables so that it can be more easily plotted (rather than recalculating in post-processing).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add the abundance factor variable to the state struct or class that stores other basic variables, and ensure it is accessible for plotting (e.g., via a getter or as a public member). Update any serialization or output routines to include this new variable.
