Coastal Blue Carbon error

[perlarivadeneyra]

What is the issue or question you have?

I obtain an error message when trying to run the Coastal Blue Carbon model.

What do you expect to happen?

To obtain the Coastal Blue Carbon model output for saltmarshes and seagrasses in the Venice Lagoon.

What have you tried so far?

I have tried to use the same column names and use different input data data. I have not renamed the categories to the exact same name used in Invest, is this necessary?

Attach the logfile here:

Welcome to the forum @perlarivadeneyra!

Can you clarify what you mean by “I have not renamed the categories to the exact same name used in Invest”? What exactly are the “categories”?

The error says “soil-disturb”, which indicates to me that there’s a misnaming somewhere in the transitions table. As noted in the User Guide (and sample data), the column names related to soil disturbance are

• soil-low-impact-disturb
• soil-med-impact-disturb
• soil-high-impact-disturb

And the allowed values for these columns are

• high-impact-disturb
• med-impact-disturb
• low-impact-disturb
• NCC
• accum

So somewhere in the table I’m guessing that you have a column or value that’s “soil-disturb”, when it actually needs to be one of the column names or values shown above. The preprocessor should create a transitions table that has the correct column names, so can you check the values you’re providing in that table to make sure they match the allowed value strings?

If that’s not the problem, please post the transitions table that’s causing the error - thanks!

Dear Stacie, I corrected the names as you indicated and now the model is working!! Thank you so much!
