| Dr Hughes, from your studies what's likely to happen to Australia's eucalypts? |
|
| No other continent is so dominated by one genus of tree as Australia is by eucalypts. |
|
| We've just heard about lignotubers for example, which allow eucalypts to continue to grow even after a bushfire. |
|
| American techniques of ringbarking and clearing by burning were adopted to clear eucalypts for grazing and agriculture. |
|
| In fact, where the karakas were supposed to be there was a plantation of eucalypts. |
|
| Rich hardwoods of myrtle, blackwood, sassafras and Huon pine mingle with common eucalypts. |
|
| Avenues of mallee eucalypts could lead to a big future for Mid West farmers. |
|
| As settlement spread inland, vast forests of eucalypts and other sclerophylls were discovered, but no further easily worked species. |
|
| In went several hundred eucalypts, as shelter belts and windbreaks, and for firewood and fenceposts in years to come. |
|
| These plants include eucalypts and tea-trees, banksias and grevilleas, boronias, native fuchsias, wattles and peas. |
|
| That explains our eucalypts and tea trees, with their large open flowers full of nectar. |
|
| Six eucalypts were removed after metre wide sections of bark were stripped from the year-old trees in September last year. |
|
| Until now the only trees he has seen are wattles and eucalypts, which don't merit a compliment. |
|
| I looked up and saw that the trees I was standing under were eucalypts, which had released their oily, pungent aroma into the wet air. |
|
| Here, unusual and ancient giant ferns are frequent, as are scribbly gums and eucalypts, while in places kauri and satinay pines reach high for the sky. |
|
| Ngar said authorities in the past introduced pioneer species such as acacias and eucalypts that adapted quickly to badly eroded areas on barren land. |
|
| Being honeyeaters, black-eared miners will consume nectar, but most of their diet is insects that they find under the bark of mature mallee eucalypts. |
|
| The plethora of uses for eucalypts takes up a fair bit of space, as does a discussion of ways to adapt agriculture to a new, more sustainable way of thinking. |
|
| They won't come to see rows of monotonous pines and eucalypts. |
|
| Petaurids feed on insects and on the sap and gum of eucalypts and acacias. |
|
|
|
| Quick-growing wattles and eucalypts spread through the country for a multitude of uses on farms, mines, and railways and became a mark of habitation. |
|
| I will not mention all of them, but a lot of native species, eucalypts, wattles, and quite a number of exotic softwoods and hardwoods, are suitable. |
|
| Aromatic scents of eucalypts and heath plants wafted up from the plains. |
|
| Woodlands of Box eucalypts and Ironbarks once stretched from western Victoria in a great are through central NSW and into southern Queensland. |
|
| The tree, known as rose gum, flooded gum and eucalyptus, is one of the most valued of the commercial eucalypts and is used for wood pallets, veneer, poles, pulpwood and fuel. |
|
| I know each is caused by the fire accelerating rapidly up the valley, consuming everything in its path and travelling swiftly up to the crowns of the tall gums and eucalypts. |
