1 medium2.wtr
An integer which is a switch indicating whether the water regimes used in the model simulations are to be generated internally (0) or to be read in from a file (1). This integer can only take on the values of 0 or 1. The string following this integer is the name of a file containing water elevations in each quarter of the simulation. This file is composed of three tab delimited variables: the elevation of the water, the step in the simulation (4 per year), and the model year.

1 ob01ele.grd
An integer which is a switch indicating whether the topography of the basin used in the model is to be generated internally (0) or read in from a file (1). The string following this integer is the name of a file containing basin topography. The file is tab-delimited and begins with the following five lines specifying the size of the matrix:
DSAA
ncols   nrows
xmin    xmax
ymin    nmax
minelev maxelev
where ncols is the number of columns, nrows is the number of rows, xmin is the minimum x value, xmax is the maximum x value, ymin is the minimum y value, ymax is the maximum y value, minelev is the minimum elevation, zmax is the maximum elevation. The string 1.70141e+038 is interpreted as a missing value

1 obo10000.grd
An integer which is a switch indicating whether the initial distribution of plants the model in the simulation is to be generated internally (0) or read in from a file (1). The string following this integer is the name of a file of integers which represent stands of plants with the corresponding species code. The file is tab-delimited and begins with the following five lines specifying the size of the matrix:
DSAA
ncols   nrows
xmin    xmax
ymin    nmax
0       maxsp
where ncols is the number of columns, nrows is the number of rows, xmin is the minimum x value, xmax is the maximum x value, ymin is the minimum y value, ymax is the maximum y value, maxsp is the highest species code. The string 1.70141e+038 is interpreted as a missing value.

0 showadult
An integer which is a switch indicating whether the distribution of adult plants should be written to the screen at the end of every year.

0 showwater
An integer which is a switch indicating whether the elevation of the water should be written to the screen each year.

0 zmax(0<=zmax<=5_m)
The maximum elevation of a simulated wetland basin (0 is the max elevation of high water). This is only used if the basin topography is modeled as a paraboloid during the simulation.

2 xyratio(0.1<ratio<10)
The length to width ratio of the wetland basin. This is only used if the basin topography is modeled as a paraboloid during the simulation.

1 curve(0.5<=curve<=32)
A shape parameter describing the steepness of the sides of the wetland. This is only used if the basin topography is modeled as a paraboloid during the simulation.

0 watercos
An integer which is a switch indicating whether the water level should in the simulations should be modeled as a cosine function. This only affects the simulation if there is no specified water regime file.

0 yearint(yearint>=0)

zmin drawint(drawint>=0)
The depth of the draw-down event in meters. This only affects the simulation if there is no specified water regime file.

5 drawfreq(0<drawfreq)
Years between draw-down events. This only affects the simulation if there is no specified water regime file.
