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.

No of the three Spanish participant homepages was in English (INIA had a promising button, but it did not work), and no meeting webs were constructed, so rather little information was available beforehand. Neither a conference proceedings will appear after the conference, thus it is not worth to work harder with the presentations.
