Abstract

Trend surface analysis was used to determine the spatial patterns of tree size, competitive stress, and effects of microsite on growth. A three-dimensional representation of the trend surface facilitated interpretation. Gradients of competitive stress depended on the competition index used. Microsite effects have a spatial trend and individual tree genetic effects are represented by the residuals from this trend.
