Effects of phenotypic selection on height-diameter ratio of Norway spruce and Scots pine in Sweden

Genetically improved Norway spruce ( (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine ( L.) are extensively used in operational Swedish forestry plantations. However, relatively little is known about the stem slenderness (height-diameter ratio) of genetically improved material. Thus, in this study we investigated effect...
