Description (last modified by luyssaert)
NFI data rarely measure trees below 7 to 10 cm in diameter (depending on the country). The current ORCHIDEE output is based on all trees. Ask the user for a threshold diameter and calculate the classic NFI outputs based on this threshold. Variables to which this could apply: IND, BA, QMDIA, QMHEIGHT.

ORCHIDEE calculates the HEIGHT, DIAMETER, BA, and IND for the whole stand including saplings. Forest inventories use a diameter threshold below which trees are not sampled. The HEIGHT, DIAMETER, BA, and IND from a forest inventory cannot simply be compared to the ORCHIDEE simulations.
In r7773 a cut off diameter has been implemented in ORCHIDEE (DIA_THRESH_INV) and enables the model to calculate the simulated HEIGHT, DIAMETER, BA, and IND for the whole stand as well as these variables as if they would be measured in a forest inventory. These variables are written to the history file as HEIGHT, HEIGHT_DOM, HEIGHT_INV, DIAMETER, DIA_DOM, DIA_INV, BA, BA_INV, IND, and IND_INV.
