assessment of black spruce portfolio trial survival and growth and implications for reforestation under climate change
abstract
the purpose of this study is to assess the performance of black spruce seedlings
at a genetic trial designed to select seed sources adapted to several climate change
scenarios. height variability among trees is attributed to seed source effects, block
effects, and seed source-by-block interaction effects. seed sources originating from
areas to the south west of the study site appeared to have greater mean heights. there
was no significant difference in survival among seed sources.
