| 181 | | Describes rXXXX. ORCHIDEE calculates the HEIGHT, DIAMETER, BA, and IND for the whole stand including saplings. Forest inventories use a diameter threshold below which trees are not sampled. The HEIGHT, DIAMETER, BA, and IND from a forest inventory cannot simply be compared to the ORCHIDEE simulations. This cut off diameter has been implemented in ORCHIDEE ('''DIA_THRESH_INV''') and enables the model to calculate the simulated HEIGHT, DIAMETER, BA, and IND for the whole stand as well as these variables as if they would be measured in a forest inventory. |

These variables are written to the history file as HEIGHT, HEIGHT_DOM, HEIGHT_INV, DIAMETER, DIA_DOM, DIA_INV, BA, BA_INV, IND, and IND_INV. |
