Genotype-environment interaction is pervasive in forest genetics. Delineation of spatial breeding zones (BZs) is fundamental for accommodating genotype-environment interaction. Here we developed a BZ classification pipeline for the forest tree Eucalyptus globulus in 2 Australian regions based on phe...
