Conserving habitats crucial for threatened koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations requires rating habitat quality from a fine spatial scale to patches, landscapes and then regions. Abstract Conserving habitats crucial for threatened koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations requires rating habitat quality from a fine spatial scale to patches ...

We investigated host acceptance and feeding behaviour of Glycaspsis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) among 10 eucalypt (sub)species, to understand host utilisation by this globally important Australian species. Host acceptance or rejection occurred surprisingly rapidly. Most females were likely to jump immediately off non‐preferred hosts.

Growth stress inEucalyptus dunnii [PDF]
Summary Growth stress in 9-y-old plantation-grown Eucalyptus dunnii was assessed by measuring longitudinal growth strain. Strain varied considerably (370–1560 μm−1) and was sufficiently heritable (h2 = 0.3–0.5) that tree breeding may be an effective way to reduce the incidence of growth stress in this species.

Eucalyptus dunnii is cultivated in Uruguay for kraft pulping purposes. However, depending on the growth site, the kraft pulping properties of the wood vary highly, and in some cases, pulping is difficult.

Towards species‐level forecasts of drought‐induced tree mortality risk
Summary Predicting species‐level responses to drought at the landscape scale is critical to reducing uncertainty in future terrestrial carbon and water cycle projections. We embedded a stomatal optimisation model in the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE) land surface model and parameterised the model for 15 canopy dominant eucalypt ...

The giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) is the heaviest known moth in the world, a traditional food resource to indigenous Australians and an ecosystem engineer, but it is primarily studied as a pest of Eucalyptus plantations. Here, I review the life history of this enigmatic insect and apply this perspective to the ecology, ethnoentomology and known ...

Abstract Stomatal conductance schemes that optimize with respect to photosynthetic and hydraulic functions have been proposed to address biases in land‐surface model (LSM) simulations during drought. However, systematic evaluations of both optimality‐based and alternative empirical formulations for coupling carbon and water fluxes are lacking. Here, we

Engineering Wood Products from Eucalyptus spp.
Forest covers 4.06 billion hectares (ha) or 31% of the total land area worldwide, where 93% (3.75 billion ha) are natural regenerating forests and the remaining 7% (294 million ha) are planted forests. Eucalyptus spp., being one of the most important plantation species, has been planted in 95 countries around the world, and the area of plantation has ...

Mycorrhizal colonization and phenolic compounds accumulation on roots of Eucalyptus dunnii maiden inoculated with ectomycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
Compatibility between Eucalyptus dunnii and the ectomycorrhizal fungi Hysterangium gardneri and Pisolithus sp. - from Eucalyptus spp. -, Rhizopogon nigrescens and Suillus cothurnatus - from Pinus spp.-, was studied in vitro. Pisolithus sp., H.

Abstract Eucalyptus plantations have replaced other (agro)ecosystems over 5.6 Mha in Brazil. While these plantations rapidly accumulate carbon (C) in their biomass, the C storage in living forest biomass is transient, and thus, longer‐term sustainability relies on sustaining soil organic matter (SOM) stocks. A significant amount of harvest residues (HR)
