Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of Eucalyptus Plantations in Ethiopia: An Evaluation of Benefits, Challenges, and Sustainable Practices. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal
Eucalyptus was first introduced to Ethiopia in the late 19th century to address the scarcity of firewood and construction wood in the capital city. Since then, it has spread across the country and has become an important source of income for many households while also reducing the need for deforestation.

Fossil insect-feeding traces indicate unrecognized evolutionary history and biodiversity on Australia's iconic Eucalyptus. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Fossilized plant–insect herbivore associations provide fundamental information about the assembly of terrestrial communities through geologic time. However, fossil evidence of associations originating in deep time and persisting to the modern day is scarce. We studied the insect herbivore damage found on 284 Eucalyptus frenguelliana leaves from

Chemical Studies on Eucalyptus Regnans F. Muell. [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1953
Samples of the outer phloem, inner phloem, cambial zone, developing sapwood sapwood, and heartwood of young Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell. trees have been examined for extraneous materials, lignin, and carbohydrate constituents.

Impact of intense disturbance on the structure and composition of wet-eucalypt forests: A case study from the Tasmanian 2016 wildfires. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Fire is a key process in eucalypt communities, exerting a strong influence on the composition, structure and functioning of forests. Much of the research on the fire response of temperate, wet-sclerophyll trees in Australia comes from Victoria, where the

Postdispersal Selection Following Mixed Mating in Eucalyptus regnans [PDF]

Evolution, 1997
Eucalyptus regnans is a mass flowering, tall forest tree of southeastern Australia with a mixed mating system. A field trial containing randomized single tree plots of self, outcross, and naturally open-pollinated (OP) progenies of 13 parents from two natural populations was surveyed over 15 yr. Inbreeding depression in survival at 15 years was 67% for

Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, 'farms' its invertebrate prey. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.

Plasticity of Leaf Respiratory and Photosynthetic Traits in Eucalyptus grandis and E. regnans Grown Under Variable Light and Nitrogen Availability

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Plant growth strategies are adapted to resource availability in native habitat(s), and thus reflected in traits such as photosynthetic and respiratory capacities of leaves.

Forest Structure Drives Fuel Moisture Response across Alternative Forest States

Fire, 2021
Climate warming is expected to increase fire frequency in many productive obligate seeder forests, where repeated high-intensity fire can initiate stand conversion to alternative states with contrasting structure.

Do Fire Cues Enhance Germination of Soil Seed Stores across an Ecotone of Wet Eucalypt Forest to Cool Temperate Rainforest in the Central Highlands of South-Eastern Australia?

Fire, 2023
Soil seed banks play an important role in plant species persistence in fire-prone systems. Response to fire related germination cues often reflect historical fire regimes and can be important in maintaining ecotones between different forest types.

Direct and indirect disturbance impacts on forest biodiversity

Ecosphere, 2021
Understanding the responses of biodiversity to forest disturbance is critical for maintaining ecosystem integrity and key ecological functions. Ecological research in forests after major disturbance typically focuses on the direct responses of individual
