Plasticity Adaptation in Forest Trees  Madrid (Spain), 27th - 29th February 2008
(note a forest adaptation meeting in Umeå announced http://www.forestadaptation2008.net/home/en/)
Dag Lindgren: Modelling the performance over a range of sites using genetic flexibility (plasticity). A method and program for analysing and evaluating the quantitative consequences of zone size and width of genetic components for a plantation material by aid of the Caushy function and a parabolic approximation was made and application for Scots pine in Sweden was presented. An analyse of "Planters guide" was presented.
