Figures & Tables

Seed regions of European larch in Poland and the locations of plus trees (red dots) whose seeds were available in the Forest Gene Bank in Kostrzyca (data as of November 2021). Green lines indicate the boundaries of seed regions (Rozporządzenie 2015), and the most valuable seed regions are additionally filled with different colours.
