Table 2. Variables used to predict forest type change.

Classification		Variables
Dependent variable		Coniferous Forest : CON→CON (0), CON→MIX (1)Broadleaf Forest : DEC→DEC (0), DEC→MIX (1)Mixed Forest : MIX→MIX (0), MIX→CON (1), MIX→DEC (2)
Independent variable	Climate	TAVG (Average annual average temperature)PRCP (Average annual precipitation)
	Topography	ELEVATION, SLOPE, ASPECT, TWI
	Forest Stand	AGE (Age class), DENSITY (Canopy density class)
	Disturbance	CON100 (Ratio of coniferous forest area within a 100m radius),DEC100 (Ratio of broadleaf forest area within a 100m radius),NF100 (Ratio of non forest area within a 100m radius),ROAD (Distance from a Road)
