====== 5. Main Section: Soils ======
For every grid in the area, a soil profile and surface material can be chosen individually.\\
There are two ways to provide this information: 

=== Case A: Each grid in the domain has the same soil profile ===
In this case no individual information is needed for each single grid point.\\
A common soil is defined by placing the line <fs smaller>''\ALLSOILS=" l"''</fs>\\
(if all soils are supposed to be of the " l" type or any other valid soil ID)

=== Case B: Grids have different soil profiles ===
In this case, a complete ''\SOILS'' section has to be used to provide this information.\\

===== =====
In both cases, the soil profiles are defined by a two-digit ID (like the vegetation).\\
All used IDs must be stored in the file ''[[Profiles Database PROFILS.DAT|PROFILS.DAT]]''.\\
Invalid profile definitions will be replaced by the default soil profile, which is the first profile defined in ''PROFILS.DAT''.\\
