 * make sure the PFT map has the correct number of units '''nvm''' vs. '''nvmap'''. These numbers are set in orchidee_pft.def but affect the expecation of the model when reading the land cover map. The correct land cover map is set in COMP/sechiba.card
 * orchidee_pft.def with 3 PFTs make for a powerful test-case. Most of the output variables in stomate have their units in something per square meter of vegetation. So two identical PFTs with different vegetation fractions should still result in the same stomate outputs. If this is not the case, something went wrong with the units (and likely the way veget and/or veget_max are used in the model. To use this test case remember to set impose_veg = y (PARAM/orchidee.def) and veget_update = 0Y (COMP/sechiba.card). The test case can be run over large spatial domains which may also help to find bugs.
+* orchidee_pft.def with 64 PFTs demonstrates how MTCs, PFTs, species and age classes can all be combined in a single set-up. The species parameters are limited to the European domain, the MTCs are used outside of Europe. In Europe 4 age classes are distinguished, outside of Europe a single age is used. This is the set-up that was used in Naudts et al 2016 and Luyssaert et al 2018.
