Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation More than 61% of trees survived nine years after planting.
- Observation Surviving trees had a mean height of 21.2 m.
- Observation Surviving trees had a mean diameter at breast height of 16.4 cm.
- Observation Survival, height and diameter differed significantly between sub-races and among localities within sub-races.
- Observation Eastern and Western Otways, Cape Patton and Strzelecki Ranges were fastest growing and had above-average survival.
- Observation Wilsons Promontory was slowest growing and had poor survival.
- Observation The Ethiopian landrace performed well, but had limited trial representation.
- Observation Within-sub-race individual-tree height heritability was 0.20 ± 0.03.
- Observation Within-sub-race individual-tree diameter heritability was 0.16 ± 0.02.
- Recommendation The authors conclude E. globulus has substantial genetic improvement potential in Ethiopia.
