This is a regular adjective formed from 'substitution', so the meaning is directly inferable from the base word.
Etymology
Substitutional comes from substitute, built from sub- 'under' and -stitute 'place', so it means 'put in the place of'. That is why a substitutional process describes one thing replacing another.
