While reading the vegetation parameter file, the model given the following error: The vegetation class id 0 defined for above-treeline from cell 16915 is not defined in the vegetation library file. However, in the veg parameter file, I have defined a non zero vegetation class for cell no. 16915. Is it related to tab separeted, comma separated files type?

The COMPUTE_TREELINE option was TRUE in my global parameter file, I had to FALSE it. However, the reason is still unknown to me. I am closing the question, if anybody knows about treeline and overstory features in VIC4.2.d, kindly explain.
