TABLE 2.
Correlations between drought response traits and conventional growth and wood traits a using GBLUP b . Results for the Normandin study site are presented in the upper half of the table (a) and those for the Watford study site as the lower half (b). For each site, genetic correlations are above the center line and phenotypic correlations below it. Standard errors are shown in parentheses along with levels of statistical significance indicated by asterisks c
