Factorial design of disturbance scenarios

	Disturbance scenario R/S/M	Rotation period (years)	Severity (%)	Mean size (ha)
1	∞/0/0	–	–	–
2	250/50/5.3	250	50	5.3
3	125/50/5.3	125	50	5.3
4	250/100/5.3	250	100	5.3
5	125/100/5.3	125	100	5.3
6	250/50/53.4	250	50	53.4
7	125/50/53.4	125	50	53.4
8	250/100/53.4	250	100	53.4
9	125/100/53.4	125	100	53.4

The disturbance scenarios represent all possible combinations of two levels of disturbance frequency (here expressed as disturbance rotation period), severity, and mean disturbance size. Severity is characterized as trees with dbh >10 cm killed within the disturbed perimeter.
