Notes. 

(a)

The DG Tau abundances are constant throughout the disk (or disk-averaged), whereas the theoretical disk abundances from Aikawa et al. (2002) and van Zadelhoff et al. (2003) represent the ranges expected in the warm molecular layers only;

(b)

the theoretical cloud values are from Terzieva & Herbst (1998);

(c)

the online RADEX program does not yet include CN (to calculate the cloud contributions).
