End uses: 1 = Industrial wood products (logs, sawtimber, construction wood, plywood, chip and particle board, wood pulp etc.); 2 = Industrial non-wood products (gums, resin, oils, tannins); 3 = Fuelwood, posts, poles (firewood, charcoal, roundwood used on-farm, wood for carving); 4 = Other uses, goods and services (food, medicinal use, fodder, land stabilization/amelioration, shade, shelter, environmental values).

Exploration & collection: 5 = Biological information (natural distribution, taxonomy, genecology, phenology etc.); 6 = Collection of germplasm for evaluation

Evaluation: 7 = In situ (population studies); 8 = Ex situ (provenance and progeny tests)

Conservation: 9 = In situ; 10 = Ex situ

Reproductive use/germplasm use: 11 = Semi-bulk/bulk seedlots, reproductive materials; 12 = Selection and improvement

Remarks (13): Specific uses not obvious from columns 1-4 are mentioned. Also, work in progress is reported in this column.

PVT = provenance trials; E = endangered at species or provenance level; PGT = progeny trials; MPTS = multi-purpose tree species; CLT = clonal trials; SO = seed orchard

Rating: 1 = Highest priority, action should start, or be continued, with immediate effect; 2 = Prompt action recommended, action should start within next two biennia; 3 = Action required in next five to ten year.
