Some of the parameter constants used throughout the AEZ-CCS package are defined by expressions involving other parameter constants (marked with a ‘C’ in the above table).Their values are given by:

MGRASS = MFCR + MCCR + 1

MCRP = MGRASS + MTREE

MLVS = MLVS1 + MLVS2

MYCR = MYFC + MCCR + 1

MYPR = MYCR + MYLV

MFXROW = MQAG + 2*MYCR + MINPT + 2*MLVZ + MLVS + MINVST + 5

* Parameter constant expression involving other parameter constants.
