Papers presented at an international workshop in China, April 2003 examine the role of eucalypt species in Asia. The proceedings cover socioeconomic, genetics, nutrition, pests and diseases, environmental impacts and utilisation issues. The conference, conceived by the China Eucalypt Research Centre, was the first to consider such a wide range of issues about eucalypts in the Asian region. It is a valuable contribution to our knowledge and ability to manage these species for maxium benefit and sustainability.

Eucalypts are used for the production of paper products, firewood, charcoal, potential feedstocks for bioenergy and biomaterials, as ornamentals and landscape trees, and in land rehabilitation. Eucalypt breeding is at an early stage with many plantings being only at the first stages of domestication. The relatively small genomes of these species make the application of molecular genetics approaches attractive. The application of modern genomics will accelerate the development of improved eucalypts for a wide range of uses. This book brings together diverse information on the genetics, genomics, and breeding of these important forest species.

Tells the how the eucalyptus -- or "gum tree" -- spread from its native Australia to habitats around the world. First regarded as an exotic novelty and a popular ornamental in European gardens, the eucalyptus became the favored tree of the global pulpwood ind'y. Discusses reasons for the tree's popularity throughout history, ranging from the aesthetic, to its purported malaria-countering character in swamps, to its ability to adapt and mature quickly as a source of timber and firewood. Raises important issues surrounding the eucalyptus today, such as the accelerated establishment of eucalyptus plantations in Latin America and Asia, their impact upon the environment and the social consequences of encouraging expansion on both private and community lands.

This manual summarises information on the ecology and silviculture of the species Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake, with an emphasis on Vietnam. It also encompasses growth and yield data from published sources, as well as collected from sites under smallholder industrial plantations in Binh Dinh and Phu Tho provinces, Vietnam. This manual is 1 of 5 that guide smallholder tree planting of five selected tree species in Vietnam. The other four species are: Acacia hybrid, Acacia mangium Willd, Cinnamomum parthenoxylon (Jack) Meisn and Erythrophloeum fordii Oliver.

The book contains papers presented at a meeting by eucalyptus experts, scholars, consultants and company managers from different countries and regions. The authors report: (1) the most recent advances in eucalyptus research from different perspectives OCo genetics, breeding, cultivation techniques, soil nutrition, plantation management, wood utilization, etc.; (2) the world-wide extension and development of the cultivated eucalyptus as a strategic forest tree with great economic, environmental and social significance; (3) plantation management merging ecological, environmental and legal concerns in operations practised by the private sector; (4) new approaches to utilization of eucalyptus woods. This book also represents a successful combination of academic research and practical operation in managing commercial eucalyptus plantations."

Over the last fifty years, there has been an increasing recognition that eucalypts are vulnerable to a wide range of diseases. They have suffered destructive epidemics, particularly of dieback caused by the cinnamon fungus in native forests, of foliar diseases and cankers in plantations, and of dieback of remnant trees on agricultural and grazing land. This has stimulated intensive research into the causes and management of diseases of the eucalypts. This work represents a comprehensive review of our current knowledge of the health and diseases of eucalypts.
