This looks great, @emilyanndavis. I appreciate the comments about unit conversions and using the same regression values when possible to confirm that the results are correct. I have just a few minor comments.

I couldn't comment on the line, but the out_carbon_stock_path docstring might need updating for the new units.

I see aggregate_results_table_path was also being defined within the function, so it appears redundant to pass it in here. But for the sake of taskgraph and knowing the complete target_path_list, should we continue passing this filepath as an arg?

Does it make sense to get the pixel size directly from the test data instead of hardcoding it? It might make this a bit more resilient to future changes.

Same comment here - should we get the pixel size directly from the raster?
Description
Fixes #1270. Specifically, the following models (and their tests) have been updated:
Where these models previously produced raster outputs whose pixel values were in per-pixel units (e.g., Mg C/px, or kg N/(px•yr), etc.), they now produce raster outputs whose pixel values are in per-hectare units (e.g., Mg C/ha, or kg N/(ha•yr), etc.).
Regression tests now check raster outputs to make sure their values are in the appropriate units, and they also check any summary tables to make sure reported totals (e.g., total Mg C, or total kg N/yr, etc.) remain unchanged.
(Also includes some cleanup of miscellaneous items, such as unused variables, PEP8 issues picked up by my linter, and typos I noticed while reading the code and/or the user guide.)
