Genetic Resources of Eucalypts and Their Development in Sichuan

摘要

More than 130 species of Eucalyptus have been introduced into Sichuan in the past 100 years. Over 40 species survived and some have played an important role in forestry development in the province. About 47,000 ha of short-rotation industrial plantations have been established with E. grandis and E. maidenii. Other eucalypts that could be developed in Sichuan include E. saligna, E. smithii, E. dunnii, E. deanei, E. nitens, E. camaldulensis, E, cloeziana and E. youmanii.
