Site and soil parameter file

recommended extension: .sop

The data will be imported line by line, the following description starting with ! serves only the purpose for a better understanding of the file construction.
The number, denoted in nlay , has to agree with the number of layers for which data are being imported. After the layer based data no further data from this fileare being imported. All other potentially existing lines only serve as information.

Stand initialization data file

recommended extension: .ini

Contains data for a start inventory. Descriptive lines starting with ! are being read over. In each data line there are there are values for one cohort.

An arbitrary amount of cohorts can be declared.

The data file is being created by an initialization routine.

It is possible to write initializations for multiple sites in one file, whereas the selection of the current site happens through the stand identifier (stand_id) in the control file. 

1 1000. ! = volume function, patch size
! data source= S source file= input/xxxxx.prn
! sapwood fraction and form factor now dynamic per cohort
! 4C Tree Initialization File (Stand)
!
! contains the following data (single tree values):
!
! x_fol: foliage biomass (kg)
! x_frt: fine root biomass (kg)
! x_sap: sapwood biomass (kg)
! x_hrt: heartwood biomass (kg)
! x_Ahb: cross sectional area of heartwood at stem base (cm**2)
! height: tree height (cm)
! x_hbole: bole height (cm)
! x_age: tree age (years)
! n: number of trees
