AUTHOR CONTRIBUTIONS
MCF and SRK designed the research. VC prepared the genomic data and
performed the selection scans and simulations. MCF performed the GF
modeling and associated analyses. SRK oversaw the genomic and simulation
analyses, managed the VT common garden and analyzed the common garden
data. RS managed the IH common garden, provided data, and edited the
manuscript. MCF and SRK led the writing of the manuscript with
contributions from VC.
Table 1. Model estimates (SE) relating common garden height
increment growth to genetic offset predictions from Gradient Forests.
Offset predictions were tested for different sets of outlier loci: (a)
All outliers presented in Fig. 1; (b) GF-X outliers; (c) random
sampling of SNPs from the genomic background; and (d) the climate-only
Mahalanobis distance based between source and garden sites.
