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.
