Eucalyptus species are well reputed for their traditional use in Asia as well as in other parts of the world; therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities associated with essential oils from different Eucalyptus species. Essential oils from the leaves of six Eucalyptus species, including: Eucalyptus woodwardi, Eucalyptus stricklandii, Euc...

Eucalyptus species are widely planted for reforestation in subtropical China. However, the effects of Eucalyptus plantations on the regional water use remain poorly understood. In an age sequence of 2-, 4- and 6-year-old Eucalyptus plantations, the tree water use and soil evaporation were examined by linking model estimations and field observations. Results showed that annual evapotranspiration...

For the purposes of forest restoration, carbon (C) fixation, and economic improvement, eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urophylla) has been widely planted in South China. The understory of eucalyptus plantations is often occupied by a dense community of the fern Dicranopteris dichotoma, which intercepts tree canopy leaf litter before it reaches the ground. To understand the effects of this interception o...

Methanolic leaf extracts of Eucalyptus camaldulensis were investigated for in vitro antifungal activities against Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, Tricophyton rubrum, Tricophyton schoenleinii, Tricophyton mentagrophytes and Epedermophyton floccosum. The studies were carried out using broth dilution method, agar dilution method and inhibitory zone estimation. The effects of the plant extr...

BACKGROUND The leaves of Eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus) are used for treatment of diabetes mellitus in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of eucalyptus in treatment of established systemic infection with Candida albicans in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. METHODS Sixty normoglycemic male Wistar rats, weighing 200-250 g, were selected and...

We time-studied a Cat 950F and a Cat 528 grapple skidder as extraction devices for moving bunched whole trees to a landing in a short rotation eucalyptus plantation. The front-end loader was 40 to 60% more productive than the grapple skidder, depending on extraction distance. Alternatively, the single loader could both extract trees and handle the landing duties such as moving residues whereas ...

Eucalyptus pulverulenta (Baby Blue Eucalyptus) originated from Australia is one of the rare species family (Myrtaceae) and well adapted to hilly regions India. Apart cut foliage utility plant, its leaves have a pleasant aroma like most members Myrtaceae. This study was designed extract essential oil using hydro distillation method. Four different types samples were used (viz. tender leaves, mat...

Genetic variability of growth and wood chemical properties in a clonal population of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis in the Congo Garel Makouanzi, Gilles Chaix, Sophie Nourissier & Philippe Vigneron To cite this article: Garel Makouanzi, Gilles Chaix, Sophie Nourissier & Philippe Vigneron (2017): Genetic variability of growth and wood chemical properties in a clonal population of Euca...

In this study, the in vitro antimicrobial activities of four plant essential oils (T. schimperi, E. globulus, R. officinalis, and M. Chamomilla) were evaluated against bacteria and fungi. The studies were carried out using agar diffusion method for screening the most effective essential oils and agar dilution to determine minimum inhibitory concentration of the essential oils. Results of this s...

This work presents the evaluation of iron oxide nanoparticles obtained from aqueous extract Eucalyptus grandis. Twenty-three experiments were carried out where synthesis was performed by using together with salts (II) chloride tetrahydrate and (III) hexahydrate. A characterization IR, TEM BET, bands presented at 3,440.77, 1,559.26 445.31 cm−1, indicating presence nanoparticles. relatively high ...
