Remarks

  1. Specific uses not obvious from columns 1-4 are mentioned. Also work in progress is reported in this column. For clarification, reference is sometimes made to a specific country.

PVT = provenance trials
PGT = progeny trials
CLT = clonal trials
SO = seed orchard
(E) = endangered at species or provenance level
MPTS = multi-purpose tree species
