 ### fixed
 - **scripts** fixed output/extra/disaggregation_LUH2.R. The script was not working any more because magpie4::protectedArea was changed to return protected area for all land types. Moreover, the script now also works for runs without dynamic forestry (default run) but with a warning message.
