Table 3 Across-site genetic correlations for additive (\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{12}} \)), dominance (\( {\hat{r}}_{d_{12}} \)), additive direct–direct (\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{d_{12}}} \)), additive competition–competition (\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{c_{12}}} \)), and additive direct–competition (\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{d1c2}} \)and \( {\hat{r}}_{a_{d2c1}} \)) effects for diameter at breast height (DBH), total tree height (TH), and normal score of stem straightness (NSTR) from the multi-environment standard (MSM) and competition (MCM) individual-tree mixed models
Models | Parameter | DBH | TH | NSTR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
MSM | \( {\hat{r}}_{a_{12}} \) | 0.77** | 0.89** | 0.98** |
\( {\hat{r}}_{d_{12}} \) | 0.54* | 0.33NS | 0.88** | |
MCM | \( {\hat{r}}_{a_{d12}} \) | 0.79** | 0.90** | 0.93** |
\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{c12}} \) | 0.24* | 0.17NS | − 0.08NS | |
\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{d1c2}} \) | − 0.66** | − 0.12NS | − 0.17NS | |
\( {\hat{r}}_{a_{d2c1}} \) | − 0.19** | − 0.25NS | 0.33* | |
\( {\hat{r}}_{d_{12}} \) | 0.55** | 0.21NS | 0.93** |
