Results Effect of the mother tree habitat on progeny is visible from Table 1, Figure 1 and Figure 2. However, it is not clear from this table if the differences in child tree properties could be related with the mother tree habitat, or with the particular mother trees representing the habitat. Results of this analysis are presented in Table 2. Progeny properties as depending on the mother tree habitat. N H and N DBH denote the total number of child trees with height and DBH measured, respectively.
Means are the LSMs which are supplied with standard errors.
P-values for the REML estimates are given in upper rows, for the ML estimates in lower rows in brackets. Table 2 summarises the results. There is a satisfactory agreement between the REML and ML estimates. A small number of height measurements did not enable us to estimate the effect of compartment on progeny height. Surprisingly the mother tree has only a very weak, statistically not significant influence on progeny.
