Genetic Parameters of Stem and Wood Traits in Full-Sib Silver Birch Families

Genetic Parameters of Stem and Wood Traits in Full-Sib Silver Birch Families

This study investigated heritability of stem and wood traits to improve Swedish silver birch (<i>Betula pendula</i> Roth.) through breeding. Birch is 12% of Sweden’s forest area but mainly used for low value pulp or firewood. This paper applied non-destructive test (NDT) methods, and est...
