Table 1. Model variants.

Model Variant Abbr. Description
Base Base Baseline model with no modifications.
Simple disturbance SD Cell-sized disturbance with an average return time of 15 years. Individuals in disturbed cells have a 30% chance of survival.
Canopy disturbance CD Similar to SD but survival probability differs among age classes as follows: seedlings 30%, saplings 15%, small trees 5%, medium trees 10%, large trees 20%.
Understory disturbance UD Similar to SD but survival probability differs among age classes as follows: seedlings 10%, sapling 15%, small trees 35%, medium trees 70%, large trees 95%.
25yr disturbance return 25 Disturbance with an average return time of 25 years.
Longer dispersal L Dispersal distances increased by 50%, to an average of 75 m for seed and 360 m for pollen.
Shorter dispersal S Dispersal distances reduced by 50%, to an average of 25 m for seeds and 120 m for pollen.
High fecundity HF Trees produce 4x as much viable seed.
No HE species NH LE species only, no HE species modeled.
No LE genetic variation, broad tolerance LNW LE species has a single genotype that performs best in climate 5 but has broader tolerances (Fig 2 top left).
No HE genetic variation, broad tolerance HNW Similar to LNW but HE rather than LE has a single genotype with broader tolerances with an optimum in climate 2 (Fig 2 top right).
No HE genetic variation, narrow tolerance HNN2 HNN3 HE has a single genotype that performs best in either climate 2 or 3, with performance declining away from this optimum identically to individual genotypes in the baseline model (Fig 2 bottom left and right).
Increased large tree survival LTS Maximum large tree survival probability increased from 0.98 to 0.992.
