  1. aDMAX, degree day maximum for each species (degree)
  2. bDMIN, degree day minimum for each species (degree)
  3. cB2 and B3 are growth scaling parameters for each species
  4. dSWITCH, reproduction switches
  5. eD3, drought tolerance (fraction of growing season, %)
  6. fFROST, minimum January temperature tolerated (degree)
  7. gFWT, leaf weight per unit crown area (100 g/m2)
  8. hTL, leaf litter quality class (1–12 are the leaf litter; 13 is root litter; 14 and 15 are fresh wood from tress less than or greater than 10 cm; 16 is twig litter; 17 is well-decayed wood not contain humus)
  9. iRTST, root-shoot ratio for each species
  10. jFRT, foliage retention time (years)
