Annual Increment of Eucalyptus marginata Trees on Sites Infested With Phytophthora cinnamomi

Abstract

The annual increment of Eucalyptus marginata in forest infested with Phytophthora cinnamomi was compared with the growth of matched trees in adjacent uninfested forest, on two sites, for at least 4 years. On one site, trees in the infested area grew significantly faster than trees in the uninfested forest. On the other site growth rates were similar.
