That obscure status and the lack of any reputation as a virgin timber slowed its due recognition as a commercial crop. Nevertheless, it has become a major plantation forest crop internationally. It has become the pre-eminent commercial forest species in New Zealand, Chile and Australia, with important plantings in some other countries. It consequently features prominently in the international trade in forest products, in addition to its importance in domestic markets of grower countries. Very fast growth, considerable site tolerances, ease of raising in nurseries and transplanting, and ease of processing and using its wood for a range of products and purposes, have made it the utility softwood of choice almost everywhere it can be grown satisfactorily. Abundant genetic variation and its amenability to other management inputs created special opportunities for its domestication. .The story of its domestication forms a classic case history in the development of modern commercial forestry, with trailblazing in both genetic improvement and plantation | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Pinus radiata; Domestication; Tree breeding; Forest management; Forest history; Silviculture | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-65018-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-87926-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-65018-0Series ISSN 0924-5480 Series E-ISSN 1875-1334 | issn_series | 0924-5480 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
