 Use local databases to define plants which are specific to your simulation and should not be stored in a global file. If you create a model area and need new plants in ENVI-met, you should add them to a local database, too. If you transfer this simulation file to another computer, don't forget to transfer you local database with them. Use local databases to define plants which are specific to your simulation and should not be stored in a global file.

 So you always need 10 entries, this is the same for a 50cm grass and a 100m tropical tree. The profile will then be stretched or compressed to the actual gird point size in the model. So you always need 10 entries, this is the same for a 50cm grass and a 100m tropical tree.
