 We use the soiltext class 6 for cold desert from the input file "soils_param.nc" to fill missing values in these region with Gelisols (5).
-After we set cold desert, we use the level 1 of the maxvegetfrac in the input file "PFTmap.nc" to fill missing values of the remaining desert to Aridisols (2).
+After we set cold desert, we use the level 1 of the maxvegetfrac in the input file "PFTmap.nc" to fill missing values of the remaining desert to Aridisols (2). Hereby, we use a threshold of 0.8 for identifying deserts in maxvegetfrac.
 
 In case of the remaining missing points, mostly coast line points, ORCHIDEE will assign the value of the nearest neighbour in the routine "get_soil_orders" in src_stomate_io.f90.

 The problem is that ORCHIDEE already reads in fields of soil texture classes which were originally derived from soil orders. According to the soil texture classes, parameter related to soil hydrology are set. As the original data cannot be found anymore, ORCHIDEE will run with two independent sets of soil order specific parameters. Thereby inconsistencies between the phosphorus related parameters and the the hydrology related parameters can be introduced. The practice of reading in soil texture classes instead of soil orders is also problematic in respect of future developments and I suggest to change that.

-=== Missing points in soil order input file ===
-The input file with soil orders misses information for cold and hot desert as well as plenty of coastal grid points (shown in red). The latter is a problem as I set all missing points to aridisols (desert soils).
