Other claims from this paper (10)

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 Tasmanian mainland sub-races performed poorly.
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.

Other claims from this paper (9)

Method / resource Allometric relationships were developed for tree dimensions and biomass.
Observation Robinia pseudoacacia occupied the highest elevations before flooding.
Observation Albizia julibrissin occupied lower elevations.
Observation Salix occupied the lowest elevations.
Association Trees could survive flooding while roots remained embedded in soil.
Observation Salix had the greatest survival despite higher inundation.
Mechanism Deep roots and elastic shoots probably contributed to Salix survival.
Mechanism Sediment mobilization was the major cause of tree mortality.
Mechanism Salix colonization of coarse sediment contributed to survival through lower tractive force.

Association Urban forest loss rose with wind speed.
Observation Nine named tree species showed the highest wind survival.

Association Dense-crowned species lost more branches.
Association Dense-crowned species survived best.
