Oak

Study involving three experimental oak stands established in 1995 at Askeby, Tånnö, and Vibyholm. This project evaluates the incidence of reproductive oaks, considering species variations (Skogsek, Bergek, and hybrids), geographical impacts (latitude and climate), genetic backgrounds (maternal genetic and epigenetic effects), and differences due to the trees’ origins (translocation/source population). Utilising detailed visual and statistical tools, we will display comprehensive data, including the proportion of flowering individuals and average trunk diameters, providing a clear visual representation of reproductive dynamics across these distinct stands.
