Clone Growth Insights
The most uniform clone in DBH was clone 4041, with a standard deviation of 1.43 cm.
The most variable clone in DBH was clone 183, with a standard deviation of 3.67 cm, which may indicate genetic or environmental heterogeneity.
The most uniform clone in height was clone 4005, with a standard deviation of 1.13 m.
The most variable clone in height was clone 186, with a standard deviation of 3.06 m, which may reflect environmental sensitivity or measurement variability.
Clonal DBH Normal Distribution
5 - ANOVA
- Review the results of the analysis of variance. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) model used in this study is defined as:
\[ \text{vol}_f = \beta_0 + \text{Block} + \text{Clone} + \text{Block:Clone} + \varepsilon \]
where:
- \(\text{vol}_f\) is the volume at final age (the response variable),
- \(\beta_0\) is the overall intercept or grand mean,
- \(\text{Block}\) is the fixed effect (or random effect, depending on the model) of the experimental block,
- \(\text{Clone}\) is the fixed effect of the genetic clone,
- \(\text{Block:Clone}\) is the interaction effect between block and clone,
- \(\varepsilon\) is the residual error term, assumed to be normally distributed with mean 0 and constant variance.
ANOVA Summary of Volume at Age 6
The factor Block was statistically significant (F = 49.99, p = <2e-16).
The factor Clone was statistically significant (F = 24.89, p = <2e-16).
The interaction Block × Clone was significant (F = 3.59, p = <2e-16).
Residual mean square was 0.0012, indicating a low level of unexplained variance.
