Outputs

More general information concerning storage locations and filename conventions is described in organizing outputs. See also Debug Outputs for available high-resolution outputs (usually for debugging). Outputs related to the agent based forest management engine are described at the ABE outputs page.

Tree Output

Table Name: tree
Output of indivdual trees. Use the filter property to reduce amount of data (filter by resource-unit, year, species, ...).
The output is triggered after the growth of the current season. Initial values (without any growth) are output as 'startyear-1'.
The 'treeFlags' is a binary combination of individual flags; see the documentation of the treeremoved output for details.

Aggregates of removed trees due to death, harvest, and disturbances per species

Table Name: landscape_removed
Aggregates of all removed trees due to 'natural' death, harvest, or disturbance per species and reason. All values are totals for the whole landscape.The user can select with options whether to include 'natural' death and harvested trees (which may slow down the processing). Set the setting in the XML project file 'includeNatural' to 'true' to include trees that died due to natural mortality, the setting 'includeHarvest' controls whether to include ('true') or exclude ('false') harvested trees.
To enable output per dbh class, set the 'dbhClasses' setting to a comma delimeted list of dbh thresholds (e.g., '10,20,30,40,50'). The value in the output column 'dbh_class' refers to the class (e.g.: 0: 0-10, 1: 10-20, 2: 20-30, 3: 30-40, 4: 40-50, 5: >=50).

dynamic stand output by species/RU

Table Name: dynamicstand
Userdefined outputs for tree aggregates for each stand or species.
Technically, each field is calculated 'live', i.e. it is looped over all trees, and eventually the statistics (percentiles) are calculated. The aggregated values are not scaled to any area unit.

Specifying the aggregation

The by_species and by_ru option allow to define the aggregation level. When by_species is set to true, a row for each species will be created, otherwise all trees of all species are aggregated to one row. Similarly, by_ru=true means outputs for each resource unit, while a value of false aggregates over the full project area.
Even if by_ru is false, the calculation of RU level outputs can be triggered by the conditionRU switch (variable='year'). Note that in this case landscape level outputs are generated always, RU-level outputs only for certain years.

Specifying filters

You can use the 'rufilter' and 'treefilter' XML settings to reduce the limit the output to a subset of resource units / trees. Both filters are valid expressions (for resource unit level and tree level, respectively). For example, a treefilter of 'speciesindex=0' reduces the output to just one species.
The condition filter is (when present) evaluated and the output is only executed when condition is true (variable='year') This can be used to constrain the output to specific years (e.g. 'in(year,100,200,300)' produces output only for the given year.

Specifying data columns

Each field is defined as: field.aggregation (separated by a dot). A field is a valid Expression. Aggregation is one of the following: mean, sum, min, max, p25, p50, p75, p5, 10, p80, p85, p90, p95 (pXX=XXth percentile), sd (std.dev.).
Complex expression are allowed, e.g: if(dbh>50,1,0).sum (-> counts trees with dbh>50)
Note that the column names in the output table may be slightly different, as dots (and other special characsters) are not allowed in column names und substituted.

Table Name: carbon
Carbon and nitrogen pools (C and N) per resource unit / year and/or by landsacpe/year. On resource unit level, the outputs contain aggregated above ground pools (kg/ha) and below ground pools (kg/ha).
For landscape level outputs, all variables are scaled to kg/ha stockable area. The area column contains the stockable area (per resource unit / landscape) and can be used to scale to values to the actual value on the ground.
You can use the 'condition' to control if the output should be created for the current year(see also dynamic stand output).
The 'conditionRU' can be used to suppress resource-unit-level details; eg. specifying 'in(year,100,200,300)' limits output on reosurce unit level to the years 100,200,300 (leaving 'conditionRU' blank enables details per default).

Carbon fluxes per RU or landscape/yr

Table Name: carbonflow
Carbon fluxes per resource unit and year and/or aggregated for the full landscape. All values are reported on a per hectare basis (use the area provided in carbon or stand outputs to scale to realized values on the respective resource unit). For results limited to the project area, the data values need to be scaled to the stockable area.
For landsacpe level outputs, data is always given per ha of (stockable) project area (i.e. scaling with stockable area is already included).
Furthermore, the following sign convention is used in iLand: fluxes from the atmosphere to the ecosystem are positive, while C leaving the ecosystem is reported as negative C flux.
You can specify a 'condition' to limit output execution to specific years (variable 'year'). The 'conditionRU' can be used to suppress resource-unit-level details; eg. specifying 'in(year,100,200,300)' limits output on reosurce unit level to the years 100,200,300 (leaving 'conditionRU' blank enables details per default).

Unique forest states

Table Name: svduniquestate
List of forest states for the current simulation (for SVD). Each state is defined by a unique numerical Id ('stateId') which is used as a key in the 'svdstate' output.

caption	datatype	description
stateId	integer	unique state Id within one iLand simulation
composition	string	species composition state
structure	integer	dominant height class (class index)
functioning	integer	leaf area index (class index)
description	string	Verbose description of the state

Stand Development Stage

Table Name: devstage
iLand includes a special output for assessing the development stage of forested cells on the landscape. The rule set to derive specific development stages is flexible (using a Javascript interface) in order to accomodate different ecosystems.
see development+stages for the full documentation.

caption	datatype	description
year	integer	simulation year
stage	string	stand development stage (name, not numeric ID)
ncells	integer	Number of cells on the landscape within this stage
percent_area	double	percent of the landscape covered with this stage (0..100). Not fully stockable cells are accounted for correctly.

tree output for visualization software

Table Name: ecoviz
Output of aggregates on the level of landscape x species. Values are always aggregated per hectare. The output is created after the growth of the year, i.e. output with year=2000 means effectively the state of at the end of the year 2000. The initial state (without any growth) is indicated by the year 'startyear-1'.You can use the 'condition' to control if the output should be created for the current year(see also dynamic stand output)

year	integer	simulation year
count_trees	integer	total number of trees count saved to file
count_saplings	integer	total number saplings saved to file
filename	string	filename of the created output PDB file

Fire RU/yr

Table Name: fire
Fire event aggregates per fire event. The output contains a row for each (ignited) fire event.
