What's New
Version 6.09
Note: If you have a parameter file from an earlier version, and you are using behaviors that have been updated in version 6.09, load your file and save it. SORTIE-ND will automatically make any needed adjustments to your parameter file.
New in version 6.09:
- The new Storm Direct Killer behavior kills trees as a direct result of storm intensity, without resorting to a separate damage step. This behavior can be used for seedlings.
- The new Detailed Substrate behavior uses a greatly expanded log decay model.
- The new Competition Harvest behavior removes trees based on their competitive effects on their neighbors.
- The new Ripley's K and Relative Neighborhood Density Calculator behaviors provide new spatial indexes.
- You can now schedule a specific set of storms for the Storm disturbance behavior, either alone or in combination with a storm regime.
- Tree maps can be added as a link to a text file rather than imported into the parameter file. This allows easier use of very large tree maps.
- Several more components have been added to the Partitioned DBH Biomass behavior, and there is now a line graph chart option for the Partitioned Biomass grid.
- The Storm Light behavior now uses trees that died of natural mortality in addition to storm damage in its calculations of light levels.
- Storm results for the Storm disturbance behavior now have a table option in the data visualization system for detailed output files.
Minor changes and bug fixes:
- You can now change the cell resolution when defining subplots.
- There were several bug fixes related to creating and using detailed output files.
- The Harvest Interface behavior now stores its results in the Harvest Results grid, allowing reporting and compatibility with certain other behaviors.
- Storm events were made more independent for the Storm disturbance behavior.
- The Random Browse behavior can now vary its browse probabilities each timestep according to a normal distribution.
