Performance variation of lodgepole pine provenances in Latvia

Performance variation of lodgepole pine provenances in Latvia

Lodgepole pine ( var. Engelm.) has been extensively introduced in Scandinavia on less productive sites. Under a changing climate, it also has a high potential in the eastern Baltic region; still, its performance there has scarcely been reported. This study investigated the performance of...
