･We proposed a novel statistical model to explain some of the damage caused by cold temperature stress on E. globulus based on experimental observation data collected from an experimental field trial.
･The simulation using this model suggested that it was possible to some extent to predict cold injury that occurs at times and locations different from the data provided for model building.
･It was expected that the earlier screening evaluation of cold-tolerant tree breeding will lead to a significant reduction in the time and cost involved in breeding forest trees.
