Genetic control of intra-annual height growth in 6-year-old Norway spruce progenies in Latvia

Genetic control of intra-annual height growth in 6-year-old Norway spruce progenies in Latvia

Coupling growth with periods of favourable weather conditions minimizes risks of frost damage and maximizes annual height increment. The phenology of the formation of height increment is therefore a trait related to the adaptability of trees to annual weather fluctuations. Strong genetic control of...
