How much transpiration water consumption varies between eucalyptus species is unknown, making the suitability of a particular for large-scale planting in given area, or whether interspecific differences need to be taken into account estimates, uncertain. Here, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. (Ec), pellita F. v. Muell. (Ep), most resistant species, and urophylla S.T. Blake × grandis Hill ex Maid...

Seasonally dry ecosystems present a challenge to plants to maintain water relations. While native vegetation in seasonally dry ecosystems have evolved specific adaptations to the long dry season, there are risks to introduced exotic species. African mahogany, Khaya senegalensis Desr. (A. Juss.), is an exotic plantation species that has been introduced widely in Asia and northern Australia, but ...

We used a physically based ecohydrological model to predict the water balance and growth responses of a mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell.) forest catchment to clear-felling and regeneration. The model, Topog-IRM, was applied to a 0.53 km(2) catchment for a 3-year pretreatment period, and a 20-year period following clear-felling and reseeding of 78% of the catchment area. Simulations we...

Summary At the time of description, morphology Ptychaphelenchus eucalypticola Hodda, 2009 indicated it could be assigned to either Aphelenchoididae Skarbilovich, 1947 (Paramonov, 1953) or Parasitaphelenchidae Ruehm, 1956 (Siddiqi, 1980) within Aphelenchoidoidea 1980). Although P. was, tentatively, and remains Aphelenchoididae, its relationships with other aphelenchoids have not been reassessed,...
