# Parameters
## Updating PAs
FORCE_PROTECTED_AREAS: update protected areas at runtime? (boolean)
FORCED_PROTECTED_AREAS_FILE: target PA file (String)
FORCE_PROTECTED_AREAS_START_YEAR: begin interpolation to target PAs (int)
FORCE_PROTECTED_AREAS_END_YEAR: end interpolation to target PAs (int)
LC_PROTECTION_PRIORITY: the order in which land cover is protected when PA is increased. Reduction of PA occurs in the reverse order (String)
RESTRICT_PROTECTED_LAND_CONVERSION_FOR: these land cover types cannot be converted within PAs (String)
## Land sharing
ENABLE_LAND_SHARING: allow managed land in PAs? (boolean)
PROTECTED_CROPLAND_FERTILISER_LIMIT: maximum fertilizer applied (double) [0, 1]
PROTECTED_IRRIGATION_CONSTRAINT_FACTOR: fraction of available irrigation water allowed (double) [0, 1]
PROTECTED_CROPLAND_OTHER_LIMIT: maximum other intensity (double) [0, 1]
PROTECTED_TIMBER_INTENSITY_LIMIT: maximum rotation intensity (double) [0, 1]
UNPROTECTED_CROPLAND_FERTILISER_LIMIT: maximum fertilizer applied (double) [0, 1]
UNPROTECTED_IRRIGATION_CONSTRAINT_FACTOR: fraction of available irrigation water allowed (double) [0, 1]
UNPROTECTED_CROPLAND_OTHER_LIMIT: maximum other intensity (double) [0, 1]
UNPROTECTED_TIMBER_INTENSITY_LIMIT: maximum rotation intensity (double) [0, 1]
INTENSITY_LIMIT_START_YEAR: begin interpolation of intensity limits (int)
INTENSITY_LIMIT_END_YEAR: end interpolation of intensity limits (int)
INTENSITY_LIMIT_DECAY_FACTOR: controls rate of interpolation
Note: The relative values of PROTECTED_IRRIGATION_CONSTRAINT_FACTOR and UNPROTECTED_IRRIGATION_CONSTRAINT_FACTOR control the allocation of water to protected and unprotected areas. For example, PROTECTED_IRRIGATION_CONSTRAINT_FACTOR=0.2 and UNPROTECTED_IRRIGATION_CONSTRAINT_FACTOR=0.8 signifies that protected areas can consume up to 20% of the available water and unprotected areas can consume up to 80%.
