Assessing expected economic losses from wildfires in eucalypt plantations of western Brazil

Managing soil fertility in eucalypt plantations in China

More than 1.5 M ha of eucalypt plantations have been established in south China, increasing by about 100,000 ha y. Productivity is uneven and low, only about 25-50% of the world average for eucalypt plantations. Most land available for eucalypts are degraded oxisols and utilsols which also are acidic, highly leached and deeply weathered. Phosphorus deficiency is very severe and its availability...

Economic Evaluation of Eucalypt Energy Plantations1

An evaluation of the economic feasibility of investment in a eucalypt energy plantation must involve an assessment of the costs of the various cultural practices (planting, weed control, irri­ gation), the costs of processing the standing tree into a usable form (logging costs, transportation costs, chipping, cutting to firewood length) and the returns expected from the sale of the pro­ cessed ...

Economic Losses from Animal Diseases and Parasites

High risk of plant invasion in the understory of eucalypt plantations in South China.

Eucalypt plantations expand rapidly out of their natural distribution zones, thus inducing a concern on their effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. We compare the understory plant diversity of 46 plots of eucalypt plantations, including early and later stages in rotation, with that of 21 plots of contrast vegetation, including other types of plantations and secondary shrub grassland,...
