Table 3 Estimated variance components for random effects (B block, P plot within block, SL seed lot, R I variance of spatially independent residuals, R S variance of spatially dependent residuals), first-order auto-correlation coefficients (ar1(Row) spatially dependent residuals along Row, ar1(Sp) spatially dependent residuals perpendicular to Row) for 15 trial-by-trait-by-age attributes (BA basal area, HT stem height, PP pilodyn penetration, BD wood basic density determined by volumetric method, DN wood density determined by NIR, PY pulp value determined by NIR, CC cellulose content determined by NIR,)
