Eucalyptus camaldulensis provenances for afforestation in Mwanza and Shinyanga regions of Tanzania

The survival, growth and wood basic densities of 14 year oldEucalyptus camaldulensisat Michafutene, Mozambique

“…Of the five promising E. camaldulensis provenances in this study, only one (Emu Creek) was from Queensland and the rest originated from Western Australia (Isdell River, Dunham RW Kununurra, and Manning Creek). This study has therefore not demonstrated the superiority of Queensland provenances over other sources reported by some workers (Otegbeye, 1985;Sabas and Nshubemuki, 1988;Pinyopusarerk et al, 1996). It would appear that the future E. camaldulensis planting in Mozambique will depend on further refinement and subsequent use of stable provenances from Western Australia.…”

“…Results of ordinal ranking (Table 7) showed E. camadulensis ex Zimbabwe to be the best performer at Michafutene followed by E. camaldulensis Isdell River (Western Australia), Ex Emu creek (Petford, (Ghosh et al, 1977;Chandra et al, 1994), Nigeria (Otegbeye, 1985), Tanzania (Sabas and Nshubemuki, 1988), and Thailand (Pinyopusarerk et al, 1996). Of the five promising E. camaldulensis provenances in this study, only one (Emu Creek) was from Queensland and the rest originated from Western Australia (Isdell River, Dunham RW Kununurra, and Manning Creek).…”

Future prospect and sustainability of wood fuel resources in Tanzania

“…About 95% and 4% of the population used firewood and charcoal for cooking while only 2% of the population used firewood for lighting [14]. Trees are widely used for production of charcoal, firewood, timber and burning of bricks [17] as well as for construction materials, building-poles [18][19][20], and construction of houses [21]. Charcoal and firewood are produced from a wide variety of tree species [22].…”
