[RegCNET] land use change: Should I change TEXTURE?

[Costas Douvis]

Hello everyone

I would like to perform 2 runs, one with the original land use and one
with modified land use. Dr Bi has already sent the following very clear
instructions to the list. However I would like to know more about the role
of TEXTURE. What exactly is it about and should I care to change it
together with the land use?

Thank you in advance
