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.

Priority ranking for columns 5-12: 1 = Highest priority; 2 = Prompt action recommended; 3 = Action is important, but of less urgency than that for species
