Die-back of members of several Eucalyptus species, clones and hybrids was observed during a survey of forest plantations in the Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, South Africa. This symptom was often assoc
Dying trees are usually present in small patches throughout the plantations, especially in areas prone to water-logging during the rainy seasons. Phytophthora spp. known to be associated with collar and root rot of Eucalyptus spp. in South Africa include P. boehmeriae, P. cinnamomi, and P. ...

Sustainable forestry practices and supply chain management are crucial in the production of eucalyptus plantations. Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are essential considerations in the pulping process, with chemical recovery and oxygen delignification used to minimize environmental impact. ...
The form factor used, 0.51, is commonly accepted for eucalypt plantations in South Africa [27]. However, different factors are also proposed for each eucalypt species, ranging from 0.431 for E. grandis to 0.615 for E. camaldulensis [20, 31]. The mean height model was calculated using ...

In South Africa, the establishment of Eucalyptus plantations on ex-grassland significantly decreased stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) (Lebenya et al., 2018). In southern China, the development of Eucalyptus plantations on ex-pine plantations significantly reduced SOC, ...
Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil have been damaged, mainly, by native pests, such as leaf-cutting ants, termites, defoliating caterpillars, and the yellow chrysomelid beetle, Costalimaita ferruginea. However, the introduction of exotic pests, such as the red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecom...
