Nutrition of Eucalypts
Edited by: PM Attiwill, MA Adams
Provides a comprehensive survey of nutritional ecology of eucalypts in their natural environment and in plantations.
Most eucalypts grow naturally on soils low in fertility. Commercial plantations of eucalypts have been established around the world over a range of climates and soils. These two themes are central to this book. + Full description
Nutrition of Eucalypts provides a comprehensive survey of nutritional ecology of eucalypts in their natural environment and in plantations.
The authors, who are all at the forefront of research and development in their fields, are from the various eucalypt growing regions including Brazil, India, China, Spain and Australia. Their text aims at a state-of-the-art presentation.
The book includes a key and descriptions for recognising nutrient deficiencies in eucalypts.
