Contents of datafile with soil analysis information (Mandatory
and optional as required by the BioSoil project)
Level I + Level II
Concerning the distinction between mandatory and optional
parameters the definition used in the ICP Forests manual
(version from 2006, also applied during the BioSoil project) is
still valid. Mandatory data as well as optional data will be
submitted during FutMon using this form .SOM:
Each data file has to start with a comment line. This line starts with an exclamation
mark:
