Effects of the silvicultural intensity on the 4-years growth and leaf-level physiology of loblolly pine varieties

Informally Refereed

Abstract

The role that genetic improvement plays in the increase of productivity in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in the South has been recognized (McKeand and others 2003). Varietal forestry has the potential to improve the productivity and quality of loblolly pine stands, and higher genetic gains can be achieved in volume and stand uniformity (Zobel and Talbert 1984).
