-After running – Look at Used data and datasets

Prepared datasets for the simulation:

- met file: .mtc43; (spinup and normal running)- epc for ecophysiological data;- atmospheric CO2 concentration data- N deposition data- output definition

Biome-BGC is a process-based biogeochemical model that can be used to simulatecarbon, nitrogen and water fluxes of different terrestrial ecosystems.The BBGC CARBON executes a single simulation run,which consists of a so called spinup and normal simulation phases pipelined.The simulations require specific parameter inputs like:- spinup and normal initialization files (INI)- daily meteorology dataset file (METDATA)- ecophysiological constants file (EPC)- annual atmospheric CO2 concentration file (CO2 - optional)- annual nitrogen deposition file (NDEF - optional)- site/soil parameters- output control settings of Biome-BGC variablesThe Biome-BGC Projects database was developed to easy prepare,manage and share all of the above mentioned datasetsand provide interaction with Taverna workflows.Learn more about BBGCDB at http://ecos.okologia.mta.hu/bbgcdb/.
