Table III

Additive genetic variance (), additive genetic coefficient of variation (CV_A) and heritability (h²) for eight variables measured in Austrocedrus chilensis seedlings from four natural populations. Heritabilities for the pooled populations and genetic differentiation between them (Q_st) are indicated for each variable in the right columns. Standard errors (SE) are shown between brackets. AD: main axis basal diameter, AL: main axis length, NN: number of nodes, NB: number of branches, BL: basal branch length.
