Assessing crown dynamics and inter-tree competition in southern pines

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Genetic improvement of southern pines has been underway for 50 years and during this time, deployment of germplasm has generally evolved from more genetically diverse to less genetically diverse. Information is needed on how deployment of individual genotypes in pure blocks will affect traits such as within-stand variation in individual tree traits, as well as tree-level competitive interactions.
