Advantage of spontaneous trees over (trans)planted trees in time to reach their MLD and in volume at MLD. Distemonanthus benthamianus is not represented as it does not reach its MLD within 100 years. Entandrophragma angolense is also excluded because, although spontaneous trees reach their MLD within 100 years, planted trees do not, making it impossible to calculate the advantages in age and volume
