Abstract:
7-year-old progeny forest of 20 Phoebe bournei families was conducted in Mingxi County,Fujian Province.The height,DBH(diameter at breast height)and volume of individual tree were comprehensive assessed to analyze their genetic gain.The results showed that the height,DHB and stem volume of the 4 excellent families which were selected were increased by 2285%,2956% and 8927%,respectively,and the average genetic gain were 1926%,2549% and 7899%,respectively.11 plus trees were further selected from the excellent families,whose average height, average DHB and average stem volume were increased by 5316%、84.96%、34116%.respectively,and their expected genetic gains were 2582%、3559%、12220%,respectively. These excellent individuals could be used as breeding materials of Pbournei.
