“…Planted forests occupy an area of 9.0 million hectares in Brazil, of which 6.97 million hectares (77.4%) comprise eucalyptus 13 . In their native range in Australia and Indonesia, eucalyptus trees are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, and these bioclimatic characteristics are very similar to those found in Brazil 14 . Native insect pests, such as leaf‐cutting ants, termites, caterpillars, and invasive pests, originating mainly from Australia, influence seedling survival and eucalyptus yield 15 .…”

BACKGROUND: Brazil is among the world's largest producers of eucalyptus and the damage caused by native and invasive insect pests is one of the main factors affecting eucalyptus yield. The recent history of biological invasions of eucalyptus pests in Brazil prompts demand for phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions. This study used ecological niche models to estimate suitable areas for nine eucalyptus pests. This information was used to assess the potential ports of entry, generate invasion risk maps considering the likelihood of introducing invasive species, and estimate the eucalyptus producing municipalities and areas within the species' suitable range.RESULTS: A large distribution range was predicted for Eucalyptolyma maideni (Hempitera: Aphalaridae), Orgya postica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Sinoxylon anale (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), and Trachymela sloanei (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Brazil, while a comparatively smaller distribution was predicted for Ophelimus maskelli (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Mnesampela privata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Paropsis atomaria (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Paropsisterna beata, and P. cloelia (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). High-risk areas of invasion near airports and seaports were predicted mainly in southern, southeastern, and northeastern Brazil. A large proportion of the municipalities (24.4% to 93.7%) and areas with eucalyptus plantations (31.9% to 98.3%) are within the climatically suitable areas estimated for the pests, especially in southern and southeastern regions, which comprises 61.5% of the Brazilian eucalyptus production. CONCLUSION:The results indicate that eucalyptus forestry may be significantly impacted by biological invasion. The findings provided by our study can assist decision-makers in developing phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions of forest pests in Brazil.

“…The linear relationships between monthly PV and concurrent temperature without time lag effects indicate that vegetation can develop promptly to the seasonal cycle of temperature, maximum in summer and minimum in winter. Studies showed that the favorable temperatures for vegetation growth are 6-30 • C in tropical and subtropical regions [92,93]. In Taiwan, even in winter, the monthly temperature in forested regions is rarely below 5 • C so that will not really limit plant growth (Figure 3b).…”

Vegetation phenology is an integrative indicator of environmental change, and remotely–sensed data provide a powerful way to monitor land surface vegetation responses to climatic fluctuations across various spatiotemporal scales. In this study, we synthesize the local climate, mainly temperature and precipitation, and large-scale atmospheric anomalies, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-connected dynamics, on a vegetative surface in a subtropical mountainous island, the northwest Pacific of Taiwan. We used two decadal photosynthetically active vegetation cover (PV) data (2001–2020) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) reflectance data to portray vegetation dynamics at monthly, seasonal, and annual scales. Results show that PV is positively related to both temperature and precipitation at a monthly timescale across various land cover types, and the log-linear with one-month lagged of precipitation reveals the accumulation of seasonal rainfall having a significant effect on vegetation growth. Using TIMESAT, three annual phenological metrics, SOS (start of growing season), EOS (end of growing season), and LOS (length of growing season), have been derived from PV time series and been related to seasonal rainfall. The delayed SOS was manifestly influenced by a spring drought, <40 mm during February–March. The later SOS led to a ramification on following late EOS, shorter LOS, and reduction of annual NPP. Nevertheless, the summer rainfall (August–October) and EOS had no significant effects on vegetation growth owing to abundant rainfall. Therefore, the SOS associated with spring rainfall, instead of EOS, played an advantageous role in regulating vegetation development in this subtropical island. The PCA (principal component analysis) was applied for PV time series and explored the spatiotemporal patterns connected to local climate and climatic fluctuations for entire Taiwan, North Taiwan, and South Taiwan. The first two components, PC1 and PC2, explained most of data variance (94–95%) linked to temporal dynamics of land cover (r > 0.90) which was also regulated by local climate. While the subtle signals of PC3 and PC4 explained 0.1–0.4% of the data variance, related to regional drought (r = 0.35–0.40) especially in central and southwest Taiwan and ENSO-associated rainfall variation (r = −0.40–−0.37). Through synthesizing the relationships between vegetation dynamics and climate based on multiple timescales, there will be a comprehensive picture of vegetation growth and its cascading effects on ecosystem productivity.

“…But for the Amazonian region with Af and Am climates, which makes up over 40 % of the country, the maximum potential productivity predicted exceeded 45 m³/ha/ year. This area has a mean temperature of > 26 °C (Queiroz et al 2020). This is an extraordinary potential productivity on a very large area.…”

“…When examining maximum, mean and minimum temperatures for growth of certain clones of E.urophylla x E. grandis, E. grandis x E. camaldulensis, E. urophylla x E. tereticornis and three clones of E. benthamii and one of E. saligna, Queiroz et al (2020) found that optimum mean temperatures for the clones of E. urophylla x E. tereticornis, E. grandis x E. camaldulensis and E. urophylla x E. grandis varied from 18-25 °C. For E. saligna it varied from 13 -24 °C, and for the E. benthamii clones from 11-24 °C.…”

The equatorial region of the world includes areas of Tropical Rainforest (Af) and Tropical Monsoon (Am) climate zones, which are distinguished by high temperatures and high rainfall, but soils which are often deficient. Potential productivity of plantation forestry in this area is high, and so are the pest and disease dangers which threaten it. This paper describes the Eucalyptus and Corymbia species which are adapted to this situation and also resistant to the main diseases like leaf blights. Based on the highly adapted E. biterranea and E. deglupta and several more, hybridization combined with vegetative propagation is discussed as an excellent alternative to obtain quick gains in short rotations while maintaining wide genetic diversity in such plantations. Management remedies are given for the possible backlash of quick soil depletion.
