Effect of Continuous Planting on Tree Growth Traits and Growth Stress in Plantation Forests of Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis

Continuous planting is the primary method for managing Eucalyptus plantations. The “space-replacing time” approach assesses growth parameters of trees in China across generations, including height, diameter at breast height (DBH), slenderness ratio, trunk oblateness, and longitudinal strain. findings reveal: (1) significant variations strain occur among with average increasing noticeably; (2) growth-linked traits urophylla × E. grandis are impacted, negative correlation between ratio strain, positive oblateness. Factors influencing include slenderness, surface strong correlations observed. These serve as indicators. affects It advisable to select stable or slow rates avoid continuous without limits.
