  • NZDFI Wood Quality Research Plan
    Section 2: NZDFI Wood Quality Research Plan 1 Background NZDFI aims to establish a new hardwood forest industry based on naturally durable eucalypts. NZDFI has identified sustainably-grown naturally durable posts and poles for the agricultural industry as key products as an alternative to CCA treated pine (Millen, 2009). For these products natural durability is essential. The timber of these eucalypt species also has a high Modulus of Elasticity (MoE). A second targeted product is high stiffness LVL. These products can be produced from short- rotation smaller diameter trees. As these timbers also have attractively coloured heartwood, high quality appearance grade solid timber products are also a possibility if trees are grown on a longer rotation to a larger size. To ensure a quality product the variability in these properties can be reduced by genetic selection. Furthermore the trees must be easy to process, which requires trees with low growth-stresses and a low level of drying defects. NZDFI’s wood quality research programme addresses these problems to facilitate a viable hardwood forest industry based on naturally durable eucalypts. Some research work is financed through SWP (MBIE) while other work is funded through SFF (MPI) and other sources. Wood quality is a key research theme alongside other essential areas such as tree health, tree growth, propagation and forest management. 2 Natural durability Wood is a bio-material and biodegradable. Biodegradability is a positive attribute when considering the disposal at the end of a product’s life. However, susceptibility of wood to decay by organisms can result in premature product failure.

  • Eucalyptus 2018 17-21 September 2018, Le Corum, Montpellier - France
    Eucalyptus 2018 17-21 September 2018, Le Corum, Montpellier - France Eucalyptus 2018 Managing Eucalyptus plantations under global changes Abstracts Book Foreword Eucalyptus trees cover about 20 million hectares in more than 90 countries around the world with major centers in Brazil (5.7 m ha), India (3.9 m ha) and China (4.5 m ha). Eucalypts are widely grown in commercial plantations to produce raw material for the industry (pulp and paper, charcoal, sawn timber, wood panels) but also in small woodlots for the production of firewood and charcoal for domestic uses. The considerable expansion of these plantations in recent decades reflects major competitive advantages of eucalypts relative to other tree species in terms of productivity, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, wood quality for a wide variety of uses and ability to be managed in coppice. However, the requirements in water and nutrients of eucalypt trees are high to reach high biomass productions and the environmental impact of the silviculture is still a matter of debate. In a context of global changes with more frequent drought events, temperature rise and rapid expansion of pests and diseases, the sustainability of eucalypt plantations is of concern in many regions. Interdisciplinary research is urgently needed to improve the adaptation of eucalypt plantations to global changes. Cirad and I-Site MUSE organize an international conference under the auspices of IUFRO (Division 2.08.03 Improvement and culture of eucalypts and Division 1.02.01 Ecology and silviculture of plantation forests in the tropics) to present recent advances likely to improve the management of eucalypt plantations in tropical, sub-tropical and Mediterranean regions.

My supervisors, Assoc. Prof. Tina Bell and Dr Malcolm Possell, solved all my problems during our first meeting. I appreciate their guidance with my research, their support and, they took my research in an interesting direction. I would like to thank Veronica Quintanilla Berjon for help with the burning experiments. The School of Life and Environmental Sciences provided me with the facilities and equipment that were necessary to support my research. I appreciate the financial assistance and networking opportunities provided by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre. I appreciate the support of Amelia Jones and Michelle Brown from Hornsby Shire Council because they encouraged me to keep trying when it seemed impossible for my research to continue. They assisted me with access to sites, maps, accompanied me on my field trips and provided a lot of useful information. I would like to thank students and staff at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences and the Sydney Institute of Agriculture, The University of Sydney, because a friendly and sociable environment makes studying more enjoyable.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available.

  • Identity of the Casuarina Sp. in Turkey Turkish Journal of Weed Science
    Turkish Journal of Weed Science 20(2):2019:159-168 Available at: https://dergipark.org.tr/tjws Turkish Journal of Weed Science © Turkish Weed Science Society Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article Identity of the Casuarina sp. in Turkey Ian T. RILEY1*, Leyla Nur KORKMAZ1 1Department of Plant Production and Technologies, Faculty of Agricultural Science and Technologies, Niğde Omer Halisdemir University, Niğde, Turkey. *Corresponding author's E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sheoaks (Casuarina sp.) are a common ornamental and amenity trees grown in provinces of Turkey along the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts. In the literature this species is identified as Casuarina equisetifolia L., however, recent field observations have brought this into doubt. Qualitative and quantitative characters for 14 specimens (7 female and 7 male) collected from Izmir, Dalaman, Adana and Ceyhan, indicated that the correct determination is Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq. This is a new record for Turkey for a species that is considered an invasive woody weed in up to 20 countries. However, as this species has been grown in Turkey of many decades and there is no evidence of naturalization, it is not considered to represent a potential threat and no immediate management action is considered necessary. Key Words: casual, Casuarina cunninghamiana, alien flora, identity, invasiveness, Turkey. INTRODUCTION A range of Australian trees are grown in Turkey, mostly Even observed from a distance, the sheoaks in as ornamentals, but also for forestry and agricultural uses Turkey are tall, stately trees more reminiscent of such as shelter belts.
