Susceptibility of Corymbia species and hybrids to arthropod herbivory inAustralian subtropical hardwood plantations
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: HF Nahrung --- Agri-Science Queensland, Australia R Waugh --- Agri-Science Queensland, Australia DJ Lee --- Agri-Science Queensland, Australia SA Lawson --- Agri-Science Queensland, AustraliaCorymbia hybrids are becoming significant plantation varieties in subtropical and tropical Australian plantation forestry. Although primarily developed for disease resistance and amenability to clonal propagation, they have also proven to have good growth rates and site plasticity. Here we examined... -
Selection of Corymbia citriodora for pulp productivity
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: JT Brawner --- , Australia R Meder --- , Australia M Dieters --- School of Land, Crop and Food Sciences, Australia DJ Lee --- , AustraliaEvaluation of a series of spotted gum (Corymbia citirodora) progeny trials, established in the subtropical region of Queensland, Australia, was undertaken to provide information for the development of advanced-generation breeding populations suitable for pulp production. Measurements of growth at two... -
Quambalaria species: increasing threat to eucalypt plantations in Australia
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: GS Pegg AJ Carnegie MJ Wingfield A DrenthSpotted gum (Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata and C. maculata) is a valuable source of commercial timber and suitable for a wide range of different soil types in eastern Australia. The main biological constraint to further expansion of spotted gum plantations... -
Reproductive biology of Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata and effective pollination across its native range in Queensland, Australia
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: CFE Bacles J Brooks DJ Lee PM Schenk AJ Lowe A KremerThe spotted gum species complex represents a group of four eucalypt hardwood taxa that have a native range that spans the east coast of Australia, with a morphological cline from Victoria to northern Queensland. Of this group, Corymbia citriodora subsp... -
Difference in shade tolerance affects foliage–sapwood response to thinning by two eucalypts
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Rui Ling Yao --- Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Forestry Research Institute, China Kevin Glencross --- Cooperative Research Centre for Forestry and Forestry Program, School of Environment, Science and Engineering, Australia J Doland Nichols --- Cooperative Research Centre for Forestry and Forestry Program, School of Environment, Science and Engineering, AustraliaIn eucalypt plantations in subtropical Australia, Eucalyptus dunnii exhibits greater diameter increment after thinning than more shade-tolerant Corymbia citriodora. To elucidate the mechanism underlying this difference, we investigated relationships between tree leaf area and sapwood area following thinning in 11-year-old... -
Genetic variation in growth and wood-quality traits of Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata across three sites in south-east Queensland, Australia
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Tran D Hung --- School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, Australia Jermey T Brawner --- Forest Industries Research Centre, Australia David J Lee --- Forest Industries Research Centre, Australia Roger Meder --- Forest Industries Research Centre, Australia Mark J Dieters --- School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, AustraliaTen growth or wood-quality traits were assessed in three nearby Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata (CCV) open-pollinated family-within-provenance trials (18 provenances represented by a total of 374 families) to provide information for the development of a breeding program targeting both pulp... -
Relative performance of coppice versus seedlings of 16 eucalypt taxa over two rotations in northern coastal Zululand, South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: KM Little --- , South Africa RAW Gardner --- , South AfricaFrom the 1980s, Eucalyptus grandis × E. camaldulensis (GC) and E. grandis × E. urophylla (GU) were planted as alternatives to E. grandis for improved productivity in the Zululand coastal regions of South Africa. Although these hybrid combinations provided a... -
Investigating the environmental adaptability of promising subtropical and cold-tolerant eucalypt species in the warm temperate climate zone of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Hemisphere Forestry Journal • Authors: RAW GardnerDuring 2001, a series of four site-species interaction trials was established by the ICFR (Institute for Commercial Forestry Research) in the warm temperate climate zone of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (mean annual temperature (MAT) range 16–19°C), to investigate the relative growth... -
Alternative eucalypts for commercial pulpwood production at moderately dry sites in the warm temperate zone of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Robin AW Gardner --- Institute for Commercial Forestry Research, South Africa Keith M Little --- School of Natural Resource Management, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, South Africa Arnulf Kanzler --- Sappi Forest Research, South Africa Thimagren N Naidoo --- Sappi Forest Research, South AfricaDuring 2001, a series of four site–taxa interaction trials was established in the warm temperate (mean annual temperature range 16–19 °C) forestry climatic zone of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa. The main objective was to investigate the commercial forestry potential of... -
Investigating the wood production and adaptability potential of Corymbia hybrid progeny in northern coastal Zululand, South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Robin AW Gardner --- , South Africa David J Lee --- , AustraliaDuring August 2013, two ‘new’ eucalypt taxa × site interaction trials were established in northern coastal Zululand. The main purpose of these trials was to investigate the commercial forestry potential of a range of Corymbia inter-specific hybrids for the region... -
Species-specific wood volume growth models outperform unified model across eucalypt species
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Emanuel Ferrari do Nascimento --- Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), Brazil João Amaro Ferreira Vieira Netto --- Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), Brazil Marco Antônio Peixoto --- University of Florida, USA Larissa Pereira Ribeiro Teodoro --- Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), Brazil Paulo Eduardo Teodoro --- Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), Brazil Leonardo Lopes Bhering --- Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), BrazilForest ecosystems play an essential role in maintaining biodiversity and mitigating global warming. Intensively managed forest plantations represent a major raw material source for pulp, timber and paper industries. The objective of this study was to apply the model identity...
