ABSTRACT
Eucalypts are of economic importance in many parts of the world. The use of native Eucalypt forests in Australia has declined and is being replaced by plantation grown materials. Eucalypts have been widely planted worldwide (Fig. 1-1). Plantations of Eucalypts have been expanding rapidly in many countries and recent estimates suggest that the planted area have passed 20 million Ha in 2009 (https://git-forestry.com/download_git_eucalyptus_ map.htm).
