Generating Douglas-fir Breeding Value Estimates Using Airborne Laser Scanning Derived Height and Crown Metrics

Generating Douglas-fir Breeding Value Estimates Using Airborne Laser Scanning Derived Height and Crown Metrics

Progeny test trials in British Columbia are essential in assessing the genetic performance via the prediction of breeding values (BVs) for target phenotypes of parent trees and their offspring. Accurate and timely collection of phenotypic data is critical for estimating BVs with confidence. Airborne...
