Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Lower planting density was associated with higher survival probability.
- Association Lower planting density was associated with greater post-2016 growth.
- Observation EUNI-2 survived more often than EUNI-1 through 2024: 92.5% versus 70.8%.
- Observation EUNI-2 had lower mean foliar necrosis severity than EUNI-1, though cluster-bootstrap support was weaker.
- Observation Leaf level sensitivity analysis indicated lower symptom intensity in EUNI-2.
- Association Leaf level sensitivity analysis indicated lower symptom intensity at the less dense end of the spacing gradient.
- Association Early foliar necrosis severity was not clearly associated with later growth.
- Method / resource A structured genetic trial can provide comparative host performance evidence for forest health surveillance and resource deployment.
