shadetolerance
numeric value between 1-5 of relative shade tolerance (with respect to other species);
seeddistance_eff
the "effective" seed dispersal distance;
seeddistance_max
a numeric with the maximum seed dispersal distance;
mortalityshape
and growthcurve
: growth curve shape parameters.
Other columns (e.g. fire-related traits) can also be included depending on LandR modules in use.
Please see the LANDIS-II Biomass Succession Extension v3.2.1 manual (Scheller and Miranda 2015)
for further detail.
A named list (of parameters) of named lists (by species), with species
traits overrides (e.g., list(seeddistance_eff = list(Abie_sp = 25))
).
