Predicting wood density of growth increments of Douglas-fir stands in New Zealand
Background Douglas-fir comprises 6% of New Zealand’s planted forest area and contributes to the national carbon sequestration estimate. Carbon stock changes in Douglas-fir stem wood can be calculated by multiplying the increment in stem volume under bark

Modelling the variation in wood density of New Zealand-grown Douglas-fir
Background Wood density is an important property that affects the performance of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) timber. In order to develop strategies to achieve certain end-product outcomes, forest managers and wood processors ...

Characterising prediction error as a function of scale in spatial surfaces of tree productivity
Background Two indices, the 300 Index and Site Index, are commonly used to quantify productivity of Pinus radiata D.Don within New Zealand. Although maps of these indices exist, availability of new data and modifications to underlying models makes a ...

Chasing genetic correlation breakers to stimulate population resilience to climate change
Global climate change introduces new combinations of environmental conditions, which is expected to increase stress on plants. This could affect many traits in multiple ways that are as yet unknown but will likely require the modification of existing ...

Assessing the Potential of Backpack-Mounted Mobile Laser Scanning Systems for Tree Phenotyping
Phenotyping has been a reality for aiding the selection of optimal crops for specific environments for decades in various horticultural industries. However, until recently, phenotyping was less accessible to tree breeders due to the size of the crop, the
