File Provenance

(To be stored on an EXCEL or QUATTRO PRO spreadsheet)

Column A: Code

Code of the provenance = link 1.

This code is link 1 and is also present in files Cytoprov, Proveco and should be the same as in file Cytoprov and Proveco

The code of a provenance is composed of two letters and a number is sequence.

The two letters correspond to the country code (where the provenance is tested, AT: Austria, BE: Belgium, DK: Denmark, FR: France, DE: Germany, NL: Netherlands, ES: Spain, GB: United Kingdom) and the numbers to a number in sequence. Example : FR-0136 is provenance 136 tested in France.

For participants P1, P2, P3, P4 and P7, hosting provenance of the Sören Madsen collection, the 22 first numbers should be reserved to the provenance of the Madsen collection, following the codes in the booklet " International trial with Q. petraea " by Madsen.

For different participants of the same country (P2 and P3 for example, or P7 and P11) should agree on the numbers to be given to the provenances. Gin the case of Germany, P2 would number the provenances from DE-0001 to DE-0200 and P3 from DE-0201 to DE-0500...

Column B : Own Code

Provide your own code of the provenance used by your institute

Column C: Name

Usual name of the provenance)

Column D: Species 

In latin. Use official names and no synonyms;

Official name
Synonyms
Q. robur
Q. pedunculata
Q. petraea
Q. sessiliflora, Q. mas
Q. pubescens
Q. congesta, Q. virgiliana, Q. dalechampii
Q. pyrenaica
Q. toza, Q. subpyrenaica

Column E: Test

Code of the test(s) where the provenance is planted  : link 2.

This code is link 2 and is also present in files Test, Testeco and Cytoprov, and is the same as in files Test, Testeco and Cytoprov

The code of the test comprises three components :

* the letter T

* two letters corresponding to the country where the test is planted (AT: Austria, BE: Belgium, DK: Denmark, FR: France, DE: Germany, NL: Netherlands, ES: Spain, GB: United Kingdom)

* a number in sequence given by the institute. Different participants of the same country hosting tests ( P2 and P3 for Germany, and P7 and P11 for Danemark) agree on the numbers given. For example, P2 would number his tests from T-DE-01 to T-DE-10 and P3 from T-DE-11 to T-DE-20.

For example, T-DE-06 would be test 6 established in Germany. Link 2 is also present in file Provenance.

IF THE PROVENANCE IS PLANTED IN DIFFERENT TESTS (SISTER PLANTATIONS OR OTHERS), ADD A NEW LINE FOR EACH TEST.

Column F: Forest

Name of the forest where the provenance was collected

Column G: Local Place

Name of the nearest locality to the forest

Column H: Compartment

# of the subdivision of the forest (parcelle, Abteilung) where the seed was collected

Column I: Landowner

Just indicate if the owner of the forest where the provenance was collected was private or public

Column J: Region

Name of the province, region or Land where the provenance was collected

Column K: Country

Name of the country where the provenance was collected

Column L: Seed stand

If the provenance was collected in a registered seed stand, indicate the code of the seed stand using the official codes used in your country

Column M: Latitude

Latitude of the forest where the provenance was collected, in decimal Greenwich degrees with 3 decimal places (example 42.786, corresponds to 42°47' 10'')

Column N: Longitude

Longitude of the forest where the provenance was collected, in decimal Greenwich degrees with 3 decimal places (western longitudes negative; for example 4°47'10'' corresponds to 4.786)

Column O: Altitude

Altitude in meters where the provenance was collected

Column P: Date

Indicate month and year of collection of the provenance (ex 10/89 for october 89)

Column Q: Surface

Indicate the approximate surface in hectares where the seed was collected

Column R: Quality

Indicate if the seed crop in the stand where the provenance was collected was poor, low, fair or good. Poor would mean if less than 25% of the trees were bearing fruits; low from 25 % to 50 % , fair from 50 to 75% , and good more than 75%

Column S: Origin

Indicate the most likely origin of the provenance. Four different alternatives are considered:

(1) probably indigenous : native

(2) introduced for sure, and the origin is unknown : introduced

  1. introduced for sure, but the origin is known: give the most precise (Name of forest or geographic region or country) where the trees originated.
  2. most likely introduced : dubious

Column T: Distribution

Indicate if the seed crop in the stand where the provenance was collected was even or uneven. By even, one means regularly distributed as opposed to uneven (if the trees bearing acorns were distributed in patches, or restricted to some areas).

Column U: Received from

If you have received this provenance from other participants to the EU project, indicate the codes of their institute.

Codes of the Institutes correspond to Participant number with the EU project) are as follows: P1: INRA, P2: NFV, P3: BFH, P4: FC, P5: DLO,P6: WSL, P7: FLR,P8: ARCS, P9:NERC(ITE), P10: CIMA-KT, P11: ARB, P12: UDESAM

Column V: Sent to

If you have collected this provenance, and have sent seed of the same lot to other participants to the EU project, indicate the codes of their institute.

Codes of the Institutes correspond to Participant number with the EU project) are as follows: P1: INRA, P2: NFV, P3: BFH, P4: FC, P5: DLO,P6: WSL, P7: FLR,P8: ARCS, P9:NERC(ITE), P10: CIMA-KT, P11: ARB, P12: UDESAM
