The size of the patch is 3200 m². The name of the site is site1, the output files are named as Testsite. Three output files are requested: Testsite_clim.out1 and Testsite_soil.out1 with annual values and Testsite_day.out1 with daily values (creation of names see Description of the output files). The file with management instructions is located in the directory Dir1, all other files are located in a subdirectory (input) of the actual working directory. No deposition and no initialisation of litter pools are given. The output files are written in the subdirectory output. The name and location of the output directory is mandatory, all other names are unrestricted. 1 !

The difference between exmaple 5 and example 6 is the choose of the climate scenarios. The climate scenarios derived from the RCP scenario don't need any identification of the levels of climate scenarios and therefore information in line 51 of the simulation file is not used, but the line is mandatory with optional charcters. In this example "dummy" is used. The directory is daten_sim_2011-2100 and is located like the other files in a subdirectory (input) of the actual working directory.
