This study explores the multifaceted role of eucalyptus in global forestry, focusing on carbon sequestration, wood production, ecological impacts, and climate change adaptation. Eucalypt plantations cover more than 20 million hectares worldwide and are expanding rapidly to provide raw material for wood, paper, and biofuel products as well as large amounts of firewood and charcoal for domestic uses. Summary foliar diseases are among the most important challenges for eucalyptus plantations globally The effects of climate change and new or more serious outbreaks present an important threat to the sustainability of eucalyptus plantations worldwide. Large scale eucalyptus plantations have been raised both in the forests and agricultural fields, wastelands, roadsides and public places These plantations have created very useful resource for.
The rate of forest plantation establishment has increased sharply in the past decade, particularly in asia and the pacific, and species of eucalyptus have been among the most important components of such plantation programmes. Bluegum eucalyptus has been the most extensively planted eucalyptus in the united states, mainly in california, for the last 100 year (metcalf 1961) It was initially grown for timber production but now is rarely used In this article, we will explore the various aspects of eucalyptus forests, including their role in the ecosystem, adaptations of plants and animals within this habitat, threats to their existence, and ongoing conservation efforts. Its rapid growth allows for frequent pruning (2 to 4 times per year), generating large amounts of organic material that enriches the soil with mulch and enhances microbial life. In practice, mixing native tree species with eucalyptus is considered an effective way to mitigate the negative impacts of eucalyptus monoculture on both biodiversity and ecosystem services (marron and epron, 2019
Many species are widely cultivated as shade trees or in forestry plantations for their useful timber.
