• Adaptation strategies to manage risk in Australia’s plantations

  Predicted changes to Australia’s climate over the next one to three decades will affect management strategies for Australia’s Eucalyptus globulus and Pinus radiata plantations.  This res... Read More

• Blue Gum Plantation Management System

  This project designed a software system to facilitate efficient and precise plantation management, and developed a computer-based system and associated biometry to assist with the planning and... Read More

• Comparison of solid wood quality and mechanical properties of three species and nine provenances of 18-year old eucalypts grown in clearwood plantations across southwest Western Australia

  This project examined the log quality, solid wood quality, butt-log wood properties and mechanical properties of culled trees of E. globulus, E. viminalis and E. saligna. The plantations were ... Read More

• Determining the economics of processing plantation eucalypts for solid timber products

  This project assessed the economics of processing plantation eucalypts of known origin using current industry-standard equipment and procedures and identified the factors most directly affecti... Read More

• Discovery and application of DNA markers for resistance to Teratosphaeria in E. globulus (PNC363-1415)

  This study used newly developed genome sequencing techniques to find trees in large populations of E. globulus that have genetic differences (i.e. alleles) that give them resistance to Teratos... Read More

• Eucalypt MAS: Implementation of marker-assisted selection in Australia’s major plantation eucalypts PNC378-1516

  This project utilised Marker-assisted selection (MAS) to identify  and validate new genetic markers for wood density, along with using previously-discovered markers for growth and pulp yi... Read More

• Fertilisation and forest health: preventing or offsetting biotic leaf loss in eucalypt plantations

  The project developed tools to be used by managers of Eucalyptus globulus plantations to prevent or offset the effects of defoliation events on plantation productivity. The role of fertilising... Read More

  Presented by Daniel Mendham, CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, Wednesday 3 July 11am - 12 noon EST About the webinar View project information: Forest Productivity Optimisation system – A decision ... Read More

• Forest Productivity Optimisation system – A decision support tool

  The web-based FPOS decision support tool allows plantation managers to explore the impacts of different management options, climate models and soil types on productivity and profitability of p... Read More

• Genetic Selection Tools for Enhanced Wood Properties and Plantation Productivity in Australia’s Temperate Eucalypts (Blue Gum Genomics)

  The Blue Gum Genomics project has discovered molecular markers in Eucalyptus nitens and Eucalyptus globulus that control high value wood and growth traits to enable the adoption of marker-assi... Read More

• Industry-wide genetic analysis of tree breeding data using TREEPLAN®

  Selecting the best tree for any particular location or economic situation, whether that is for sawn timber or pulp, is the key goal of the TREEPLAN software. TREEPLAN is used for genetic eval... Read More

• Processing methods for production of solid wood products from plantation-grown Eucalyptus species of importance to Australia

  Having the best processing methods increases the quality and yield of solid wood products, helping to maximise returns for wood processors. This report reviewed methods of producing solid wood... Read More

• Processing Pruned and Unpruned Eucalyptus globulus Managed for Sawlog Production to Produce High Value Products

  Processing trials were conducted in conventional mills using logs from plantation-grown Eucalyptus globulus to produce appearance-quality solid timber. The trees harvested were selected to rep... Read More

• Reducing costs in the wood supply chain through controlling the moisture content of logs and chips: Preliminary modelling results for air-drying Eucalyptus globulus and Pinus radiata log piles (PNC336-1314)

  The objective of this project was to investigate the reduction in the costs in the supply chain by controlling moisture content of logs and chips (including woody biomass) through infield dryi... Read More

• The extent and causes of decline in productivity from first to second rotation blue gum plantations

  This project quantified changes in productivity of blue gum plantations between the first and second rotation, particularly in Western Australia. The research showed that well established fore... Read More

• The Impact of Growth Stress on Sawn Distortion and Log End Splitting on 32-Year-Old Plantation Blue Gum

  This project quantified the relationship between sawn timber distortion and log end splitting with growth strain measured at the surface of standing trees; investigated the impact of log end s... Read More

• The Suitability of Plantation Thinnings as Vineyard Posts

  This project investigated the suitability of using thinnings from a range of plantation species as vineyard posts. The hardwood plantation species examined were Eucalyptus grandis, E. globulus... Read More

• Tree breeding: Australian DNA research breakthrough to deliver strong ROI

  With research funding FWPA and industry to validate the technology, this breakthrough could enable foresters to dramatically reduce the breeding cycle of Eucalyptus globulus (blue gum) and Euc... Read More

• Utilisation of plantation eucalypts in engineered wood products

  Currently in South America and Iberia significant quantities of veneer-based engineered wood products (EWP) are produced from plantation eucalypts; however, no Australian wood processing compa... Read More
