The 19 provenances with the same genetic bases were selected to evaluate the effects of planting environments on trees site productivity of Loblolly Pine,its wood properties and their genotypic stabilities with the ecovalence of Wricke’s model and regression coefficient B_i of the Finlay and Wilkinson’s model.
