Hi Andrew,

To address issue 1, we recommend adding two new Transition Multiplier Types for Fire, one to represent variability and another to represent the increasing trend through time. Using these multiplier types, you can disaggregate records in the Transition Multipliers for fire, where one record imposes variability and samples from the ‘Historic fire variability’ distribution, while the others impose an increasing fire trend through time. We will share an updated version of your library with this correction.

Issue 2 was caused by some pixels in the landscape not having an assigned FMU – you can see this by overlapping initial condition rasters in QGIS. Because harvest probabilities are set to 1 in the transition pathways, and targets and transition multipliers are being assigned by FMU, this allowed harvest to occur limitlessly in pixels that had no FMU assignment. Again, we will share an updated version of your library with this correction. If you need to maintain some pixels outside of any FMU you may want to assign them to another secondary stratum such as “protected” or “no harvest” and set a target of zero harvest for this secondary stratum.

Cheers,
Leonardo
