e) Crown, TRD and TRF: field "cause_sc_name" became part of the key
f) Soil Water: SWA “Matric preassure” became part of the key of form SWA
g) In PLM explanatory item (70) was introduced for pit ID
h) Leaf Area Index, LAM: date_analysis, determination, parameter became part of

i) Meteo, explanatory item (64): all specifications concerning the number of digits
were revised according to the general remarks (floating point values instead of

g) Soil, LQA, pretreatment: The key has now format C 4 instead of I 4 in order to
