This research aims to explore how meteorological factors and site productivity affect the genetic controls over radial increment in Scots pine.
Conducted progeny trials in hemiboreal conditions in Lithuania.
Utilized tree-ring analysis and quantitative genetics to assess genetic and environmental effects.
Evaluated the relationship between increment variability and weather fluctuations.
Scots pine progenies exhibited low sensitivity of radial increment to environmental changes.
Region-specific relationships were identified that affect increment growth.
Environmental factors modulated genetic controls significantly for productivity but not for sensitivity.
