Abstract

Scots pine provenance trials established in Buryatia (western Trans-Baikal region) in Siberia were studied. The features of linear increment of 57 progenies representing a significant part of the total Scots pine area in Russia are shown. Interpopulation variability in Scots pine progenies’ linear increment index was found to increase in provenances during optimal moisture conditions during growing seasons. The correlation coefficients, between the linear increment indexes and the climatype survival rate, showed a mostly positive link based on the contrast in conditions of the originating maternal populations.
