Using Eucalypts in Manufacturing1
نویسنده
چکیده
The eucalypts as a group are attractive because of their rapid growth. This results in very high yields on a volume basis and in combination with the comparatively high specific gravities, the yields of dry fiber can be truly impressive. Maximum yield of dry fiber is the logical goal when the anticipated use is for fuel, or as a chemical feedstock for processes such as destructive distil lation. However, for solid wood products such as lumber and veneer, high specific gravity and the more complex anatomical structure may be quite disadvantageous when compared with softwoods.

Rust disease of eucalypts, caused by Puccinia psidii, did not originate via host jump from guava in Brazil.
The rust fungus, Puccinia psidii, is a devastating pathogen of introduced eucalypts (Eucalyptus spp.) in Brazil where it was first observed in 1912. This pathogen is hypothesized to be endemic to South and Central America and to have first infected eucalypts via a host jump from native guava (Psidium guajava). Ten microsatellite markers were used to genotype 148 P. psidii samples from eucalypts...
متن کاملGrowth and water use of Eucalyptus grandis and Pinus radiata plantations irrigated with effluent.
We studied the growth and water balance of young plantations of Pinus radiata D. Don and Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden irrigated with effluent for 3 years in a climate of high net evaporation. The plantations were irrigated weekly with secondary-treated municipal effluent at the estimated water-use rate, or at nominally twice or half this rate. Control plots were irrigated with bore wate...
متن کاملPhosphorus limits Eucalyptus grandis seedling growth in an unburnt rain forest soil
Although rain forest is characterized as pyrophobic, pyrophilic giant eucalypts grow as rain forest emergents in both temperate and tropical Australia. In temperate Australia, such eucalypts depend on extensive, infrequent fires to produce conditions suitable for seedling growth. Little is known, however, about constraints on seedlings of tropical giant eucalypts. We tested whether seedlings of...
متن کاملPhylogeny, phylogeography and movement of Kirramyces spp
When this study commenced in early 2004, only five Phaeophleospora species. had been reported from eucalypts of which only two; P. destructans (STE-U 1336) and P. epicoccoides (STE-U 1346) had been sequenced. In a former study, Phaeophleospora species emerged in two separate clades suggesting that Phaeophelospora is polyphyletic. The appearance and severity of lesions on eucalypt leaves are gen...
