Measures such as fertilization, drainage, understorey silviculture, pruning and conversion were investigated with reference to their classification and possibility of quantification from the management point of view. Linear quotient optimization and mixed optimization models were constructed,...

Procedures developed to assess the risk of frost kill to genetically improved Pseudotsuga menziesii families were outlined, together with progress in the improvement and validation of the models. Use of this approach would require the screening of families, probably in controlled environments, to...

The effect of climate and N availability during the first growing season was studied in 15 families of Pinus banksiana from open pollination evaluated in a progeny test to determine whether genotypes performing best under present conditions need necessarily perform best under a future climatic...

In breeding sustainable clones as an energy crop in Sweden, i.e. those that will produce well for the whole 20-year rotation cycle, it was necessary to find an early selection criterion for sustainable growth. In preliminary studies to see if selection for small between-individual variation would...

To produce a tolerant strain of this waterlogging-sensitive species, shoot tips of mature elite trees were cultured on supplemented MS medium, and shoots were further multiplied by subculturing shoot microcuttings differentiated in vitro on fresh medium of the same composition, where 10-15 shoots...
