  1. aLONG, longevity of the species (years)
  2. bMTR, maturity age of the species in year
  3. cSHD, shade tolerance (1–5, 1 = least tolerant; 5 = most tolerant)
  4. dFIRE, fire tolerance (1–5, 1 = least tolerant; 5 = most tolerant)
  5. eEFFD, species effective seeding distance (m), − 1 represents unlimited effective seeding range
  6. fMAXD, species maximum seeding distance (m), − 1 represents unlimited effective seeding range
  7. gVGP, probability of vegetative propagation
  8. hMAXDBH, maximum diameter at breast height of species in centimeters
  9. iMAXSDI, maximum stand density (number of 25.5 cm trees per hectare)
  10. jNPGS, number of potential germination seeds
  11. kCARBONCO, carbon coefficient. This coefficient represents the amount of carbon in the wood of each species
  12. lSEP, species establishment probability. The establishment of the potential sprouting seedlings is determined by this coefficient
