“…Four sets of data were used to test the robustness of the model. The first is a rainfall gradient in south-western Western Australia , the second is an altitude gradient in southern Tasmania (Turnbull et al, 1993), the third is a set of sites from northern Tasmania that covers a wide range of fertility and soil conditions (Osler et al, 1996) and the final is a spacing trial near Manjimup, Western Australia (Henskens Biomass allocation protocol followed in CABALA. P N is net primary production, Z F and Z FR are allocation of P N to foliage and fine roots, respectively, N is nitrogen, N F is foliar nitrogen concentration, W F and W fR are the standing biomass of foliage and fine roots respectively.…”

Early patterns of growth and water use of Eucalyptus globulus subsp globulus Labill. and Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden were measured for the first four years in a plantation established on a low rainfall site in south-east Tasmania. Half the plantation was irrigated to maintain soil water deficits at levels where available water did not limit growth: the other half was subjected to a series of water stress cycles which were interrupted by rainfall or terminated by supplementary irrigation to end severe drought stress.Height of E. globulus was greater than that of E. nitens irrespective of water status. For both height and diameter, differences due to levels of available water remained insignificant until the third year of growth. Increments in volume were significantly higher in E. globulus than E. nitens in the third and fourth year of growth and these differences were more apparent in the rainfed than the irrigated treatment. However there were no differences in water use between species for either treatment in the second, third or fourth year of growth. Maximum rates of growth were associated with total water use just above pan evaporation.The ratio of water use (mm water) to volume increment (m 3 ) was always lower for E. globulus than E. nitens. It was concluded that E. globulus was more suited to sites where moderate water stress is experienced as part of the normal annual growing cycle.

“…Major provenance testing and breeding programs to support plantation forestry for these species were commenced by CSIRO (Griffin et al 1982). This genetic research, along with silvicultural research and operational plantation programs, was abandoned in the 1990s when it became clear that E. nitens (and E. globulus in low-elevation, less frost-prone areas), were much more reliable in terms of successful plantation establishment and rapid early growth (Turnbull et al 1993). Recent re-examination of some of the original species trials and pilot plantings in the Esperance Valley in southern Tasmania indicates that more than 25 years after planting, E. delegatensis and E. regnans are performing on a par with E. nitens and E. globulus, in contrast to the clear superiority of the latter two species at age 5 years.…”

Initial productivity and genetic parameters of three Corymbia species in Brazil: designing a breeding strategy

The survival, initial productivity and the genetic parameters of C. citriodora subsp. citriodora (CCC), C. citriodora subsp. variegata (CCV) and C. torelliana (CT) were used to develop a breeding strategy for the Corymbia species. Survival, height and diameter at breast height (DBH) data were assessed 24 and 36 months after planting and the mean annual volume increment estimated in three trials. Longitudinal DBH data analysis was applied to each trial individually, to identify the best and the poorest families at both ages. The mortality ranged from 5% in CT to 27% in CCC and the mean annual increment varied from 17.8 to 20 m3 ha-1 year-1 at 36 months after planting. The 36-month narrow-sense heritability (ha2) was high for CCV (0.69±0.17), moderate for CCC (0.41±0.11) and low for CT (0.21±0.09). The genetic parameters indicated the need for different breeding strategies, for each species. Selecting the best families while roguing the poor families allowed forward selection of CCC and CCV. It was possible to select good CT trees for hybrid breeding, however, improving the species population requires focusing on increasing the effective size and expanding the genetic variability in the CT population.
