Summary output file setup window

This window is reached from the Output setup window. It allows you to set options for a summary output file.

Output File Name. Enter your output file name here, or choose the "Browse" button to navigate to a path. If you do not enter a path, the file may be hard to find after the run. The extension that will be added, if you haven't added it already, is ".out".

Set up subplots.... Opens the Edit Subplots window.

The other options allow you to choose saving options for different types (life history stages) of both living and dead trees. Click here for more on saving live vs. dead trees. For the definition of seedling, sapling, adult, and snag, and the difference between living and dead trees, see the tree life history stages topic. If you choose information for dead trees, you must select which mortality reasons you are interested in. If you do not save information for a particular mortality reason, it will not show up in the output even though there may be trees that died for that reason. All mortality reasons are always listed, although a particular run may not kill trees for that reason. Check the documentation for your chosen disturbance behaviors and mortality behaviors for more information on which codes will apply to your run.

Save absolute density. Saves the density of trees of each species of that type, in number per hectare.

Save relative density. Saves the density of trees of each species of that type, as a proportion of total tree density for that type.

Save absolute basal area. Saves the amount of basal area of trees of each species of that type, in square meters per hectare.

Save relative basal area. Saves the amount of basal area of trees of each species of that type, as a proportion of total tree basal area for that type.

Select all. Selects all check marks for both live and dead trees.
