Appendix 2
General combining ability (GCA) estimates of female parents, parental rankings (according to the GCA estimates) and family-level inbreeding depression (FIDk) due to open pollination (OP) for DBH at ages 4 and 6 from planting. The results pertain to the 48 parents that are represented in both the OP and Polymix (POL) cross types.

The GCA estimate of each parent is based on the data from the POL crosses, and it is
given in cm on an absolute scale (i.e. after adding the least-squares mean of the POL
crosses to the BLUP of the parent effect).
FIDk is given in cm on an absolute scale,
as well as on a relative scale in parenthesis. Relative values of
FIDk were calculated as
FIDk/maximum, with “maximum” = LSM
when POL
outperformed OP, or “maximum” = LSM
when OP
outperformed POL (Ågren and Schemske, 1993; Dudash et al., 1997).
