Table III
Genetic correlations (± SE) between several traits evaluated in two consecutive years (2006 and 2007). Traits evaluated were carbon isotope composition (δ13C), height increment (HI), diameter at breast height increment (DBHI), flushing date (Cf) , leaf fall date (LF) and growing season duration (GSD).
