Many models have been published for relating wood characteristics, such as wood density, to growth traits. At a tree population level, ring density is known to be significantly correlated with cambial age and ring width. However, at the individual tree level, the predictive value of models based on this relationship is usually poor, as there is an important, so-called "tree effect"in the residuals of such models. We hypothesise that this effect arises from within population genetic variability, and have tested this hypothesis by adjusting linear models for Douglas-fir populations with different levels of genetic variability, ranging from provenances to clones. The addition of a genetic effect significantly increased the predictive value of ...
