Thomas, R.Q., and M. Williams. 2014. A model using marginal efficiency of investment to analyze carbon and nitrogen interactions in terrestrial ecosystems (ACONITE Version 1). Geoscientific Model Development 7: 2015โ2037. https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-7-2015-2014

Compile the code. An example of a makefile is provided ('makefile'). example command: 'make -f makefile
-
Modify the aconite_namelist to customize the read. The following files and inputs are required
CLIM_FILE
='climate_Manaus_1999.csv' : This is the daily climate inputsPARAM_FILE
='parameter_tropical.txt' : This is the parameter fileDAY_OUT
='' : Enter a file name here if you want daily outputsANNUAL_OUT
='annual out.txt' : Enter a file name here if you want annual outputs. Stocks will be output on the day of year specified by the 'ANNUAL_STATE_DOY' input below
RESTART_IN
='restart_tropical.txt' : Enter the initial conditions file. If blank it will use the hard coded defaults which aren't guaranteed to work.
RESTART_OUT
='restart_test.txt' : Enter a file name if you want the model save an initial condition file for future use.SITE_IN
='site_details_Manaus.txt' : This is the site level information.
SIM_LENGTH
=2000 : This is the total number of years in the simulation.
CLIM_LENGTH
=365 : This is the total number of days in the climate input file.
PRINT_YEAR_START
=1 : This is the year that output is first saved.
PRINT_YEAR_END
=2000 : This is the year that output is last saved.
ANNUAL_STATE_DOY
=200 : This is the day of year that stocks are saved in the annual output.
COLD_START
=0 : This overwrites the initial stock variables so that C:N are consistent with the parameterized C:N ratios. Rarely used. -
