Growth and Genetic Diversity of Native Tree Species Exchanged Between Vietnam and China

摘要

Collaboration between the Forest Science Institute of Vietnam and the Research Institute of Tropical Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, has seen an exchange of seeds for a number of provenances for a range of native tree species common in both countries. Field trials using four provenances of Michelia baillonii were established at Hoanh Bo, Quang Ninh Province, in August 2007. At Chieng Bom, Son La Province, two trials were established; one to compare five provenances of Betula alnoides (three provenances from China and two provenances from Vietnam) and a second trial to compare 30 families selected from within the five provenances of B. alnoides (17 families from China and 13 families from Vietnam) in August 2008.
