β2 = fine root distributions (set in params.veg – last line )
Vmax = máximum capacity of the Rubisco enzyme (set in params.can)
m = coefficient related to the stomatal conductance (set in params.can (coefm))
CHS = heat capacity of stems (set in params.can)

MAIN MODIFICATIONS  IBIS

(ex: K83)
 ibis.veg.soil
• nbforc (number of lines - INPUT file) ex: 70080
• imonth0 (initial month - INPUT file) ex: 6
• iday0 (initial day - INPUT file) ex: 30
• altitude
• latitude in degrees
• type of vegetation (description in initial.f  these types
consist of some combination of plant functional types)
 • sand and clay (RAWLS et al., 1992; CAMPBELL E
NORMAN, 1997)

 ibis.infile
• iyear0 (initial year of simulation)
• nrun (number of years of simulation)
• isimveg (choice between static or dynamic vegetation)
• isoilforc (choice between static or dynamic soil physics)
• dtime (choice of time step, like 30 min or 1h)

 comforc.h (set the INPUT variables)

• dimforc (dimension of INPUT data, size of the vector, the
value is the same of the nbforc)

 initial.f
• ztop (canopy height)

 canopy.f
• za (tower height)

 params.soi
• soil layer thicknesses (m)  nsoilay (number of soil layers,
actually a constant in comsoi.h = 6)

 params.veg
• beta2 (parameter rooting profile upper canopy, calibrated by
Hewlley for differents Amazon sites K83, K67, K34 and
RJA)

 params.can
• Vmax (max Rubisco activity at 15C, at top of canopy,
calibrated by Hewlley for differents Amazon sites K83,
K67, K34 and RJA)
• chs (heat capacities of stems, upper canopy, calibrated by
Hewlley for differents Amazon sites K83, K67, K34 and
RJA)
• coefm - m (coefficients for stomatal conductance
relationship, calibrated by Hewlley for differents Amazon
sites K83, K67, K34 and RJA)
