Genetic variation in wood density and correlations with tree growth in Prosopis africana from Burkina Faso and Niger [Variation génétique de la densité du bois et corrélations avec la croissance de l’arbre chez Prosopis africana provenant du Burkina Faso et du Niger]

Export citation

Variation in wood basic density and its correlation with tree growth were investigated at 13 years in a provenance/progeny test of Prosopis africana in Niger. The test included progeny from 256 trees sampled from 24 provenances in the Sahelian ecozone of Burkina Faso and Niger.
