Configuration Files

PEcAn has a single xml configuration file. This fill will dictate what models to run, where, with what input files and for how long. Each model has its own configuration file as well.

PEcAn Configuration Files

This file is often called pecan.xml. The system will try to find this file in the following locations:

• Passed in when calling R with --settings
• Passed in to read.settings() function
• File called pecan.xml in the current working folder
  Once any of these are loaded it will try to locate a pecan.xml in the outdir specified in the loaded file.
