PROSUM BMI Wrapper

This project provides a Basic Model Interface (BMI) wrapper around Dr Ed Rowe’s PROSUM (Plant PROduction and SUccession Model). It allows BMI-aware tools to drive PROSUM as a shared library.

Platform: Linux (not working on WSL)
Credit: PROSUM core by Dr Ed Rowe (src/PROSUM_module_v0.7.F90, src/PROSUM_main_v0.5.f90, etc.); bmi wrapper by Ziyan (Fiona) Fang

Prerequisites

• GNU Fortran (gfortran)
• CMake ≥ 3.15
• pkg-config
• A writable $HOME/local-bmi (or change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)

---

1. Build & Install BMI Fortran Binding

BMI Fortran is needed to compile the wrapper’s bmi_prosumf.f90.

git clone https://github.com/csdms/bmi-fortran.git
cd bmi-fortran
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local-bmi ..
cmake --build .
cmake --install .

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/local-bmi/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

---

2. Build & Install PROSUM Core Library

Compile PROSUM as libprosum_core.so. Note that we use -ffree-line-length-none to avoid line-truncation error.

cd src
rm -rf _build
mkdir _build && cd _build

cmake \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local-bmi \
  -DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS="-ffree-line-length-none" \
  ..

cmake --build .
cmake --install .

This installs:

• libprosum_core.so → $HOME/local-bmi/lib
• Module files (*.mod) → $HOME/local-bmi/include

---

3. Build & Run the BMI Wrapper

Under bmi/, the CMakeLists builds:

• bmi_prosumf.f90 → libbmi_prosum.so
• bmi_main.f90 → run_bmi_prosum

cd ../bmi
rm -rf _build
mkdir _build && cd _build

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/local-bmi/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local-bmi ..
cmake --build .

Run a Test

1. Create a dummy config and copy inputs:

   echo "dummy config" > test_config.txt
   cp ../../src/*.csv .

2. Execute:

   ./run_bmi_prosum test_config.txt

3. Inspect PROSUM_outputs.csv in _build/ to see exposed variables (e.g., vegetation__nitrogen_availability).
