The book contains papers presented at a meeting by eucalyptus experts, scholars, consultants and company managers from different countries and regions. The authors report: (1) the most recent advances in eucalyptus research from different perspectives OCo genetics, breeding, cultivation techniques, soil nutrition, plantation management, wood utilization, etc.; (2) the world-wide extension and development of the cultivated eucalyptus as a strategic forest tree with great economic, environmental and social significance; (3) plantation management merging ecological, environmental and legal concerns in operations practised by the private sector; (4) new approaches to utilization of eucalyptus woods. This book also represents a successful combination of academic research and practical operation in managing commercial eucalyptus plantations."

Tells the how the eucalyptus -- or "gum tree" -- spread from its native Australia to habitats around the world. First regarded as an exotic novelty and a popular ornamental in European gardens, the eucalyptus became the favored tree of the global pulpwood ind'y. Discusses reasons for the tree's popularity throughout history, ranging from the aesthetic, to its purported malaria-countering character in swamps, to its ability to adapt and mature quickly as a source of timber and firewood. Raises important issues surrounding the eucalyptus today, such as the accelerated establishment of eucalyptus plantations in Latin America and Asia, their impact upon the environment and the social consequences of encouraging expansion on both private and community lands.

This manual summarises information on the ecology and silviculture of the species Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake, with an emphasis on Vietnam. It also encompasses growth and yield data from published sources, as well as collected from sites under smallholder industrial plantations in Binh Dinh and Phu Tho provinces, Vietnam. This manual is 1 of 5 that guide smallholder tree planting of five selected tree species in Vietnam. The other four species are: Acacia hybrid, Acacia mangium Willd, Cinnamomum parthenoxylon (Jack) Meisn and Erythrophloeum fordii Oliver.

Most eucalypts grow naturally on soils low in fertility. Commercial plantations of eucalypts have been established around the world over a range of climates and soils. These two themes are central to this book. Nutrition of Eucalypts provides a comprehensive survey of nutritional ecology of eucalypts in their natural environment and in plantations. The authors, who are all at the forefront of research and development in their fields, are from the various eucalypt growing regions including Brazil, India, China, Spain and Australia. Their text aims at a state-of-the-art presentation. The book includes a key and descriptions for recognising nutrient deficiencies in eucalypts.

The aim of this book is to present, in depth, updated information on soil and microbial processes involved in mixed plantations of Eucalyptus and N2-fixing species, especially Acacia mangium, focusing on Forestry, Soils, Biology, Ecosystem Services and Sustainability. The potential of substituting chemical N fertilizer by a consortium of leguminous species that fix atmospheric nitrogen is an interesting solution for a more sustainable, economically and environmentally sound forest system. Among the main topics, we present reference topics on soil microbiology, as biological nitrogen fixation, the role of mycorrhiza in mixed plantations, bio-indicators of soil quality, and plantgrowth promoting bacteria with biotechnological potential. Here we discuss Ecosystem services and ecological benefits of these systems, the invasive potential of A.mangium, as well as the regulations and perspectives of land use policies for mixed forests and their role in the sustainability of the system.
