  1. a“Pure” with a list of species means that the model either works with a pure stand of one of these species at a time or can simulate concurrently several pure stands of different species in the same forest
  2. bScale levels at which the model works or the module gives outputs (with more or less details depending on the model)
  3. cForest dynamics processes: growth (diameter and, possibly, height) (Gr), mortality (Mo), recruitment/regeneration (Re), dispersal (seeds/seedlings) (Di). Details for growth submodel: distance-independent tree growth (Gr (DI)), distance-dependent tree growth (Gr (DD)), growth submodel relying on a transition matrix or a diameter distribution curve (Gr (M/D))
  4. dGenetics (Ge), ecophysiological processes (Phy), branching model (Br), automated thinning (in addition to Capsis’ interactive intervention tools) (Th)
