Stand description example -- fixed format
Here is an example of the fixed format for the stand description along with a "ruler" to illustrate the columns for each item. The FORTRAN formats follow to make the exact location easy to determine. All numbers, including any decimal points, must be within the space provided. If no decimal point is provided, numberical fields must be right justified in the field.
The example below shows stand "Demo plot 1" with 23 tree records for a plot at elevation 3000 feet. The first period should include an additional 3.00 years of growth. The 50-year site index for ponderosa pine is 85 feet, for sugar pine it is 83 feet, etc. The age is set to zero for all species. The first tree record is for species 5, white fir, with the digits to the right of the decimal used here as the tree number (ignored by CACTOS). The DBH is 13.2 inches, height 61 feet, live crown ratio is .279, and this tree represents 5 trees per acre.
