I have tree seedlings collected randomly from two populations and grow in a common garden. A subset of each population was then put in an environmental treatment (four treatments and two populations). These trees were grown from acorns and are therefore not representative of genotypes.
I'm having difficulty figuring out what plasticity index to use to compare these populations and how it would be calculated without genotypes. Any insight is appreciated.
Thank you!

You could find some key elements in the manuscript: Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2745.2006.01176.x.
