Management and Performance of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in the Murewa and Mutoko Districts of ZimbabweBACKGROUNDZimbabwe’s afforestation program has used Eucalyptus trees because of their fast growth rate and their ability to adapt to different environmental conditions. These trees are grown to provide fuelwood and to curb deforestation. However, the afforestation program had poor results. Hence, there was a need to examine causes of poor performance to justify why the program still needs expansion. Open access copy available |

Exotic Trees as Nurse-Trees for the Regeneration of Natural Tropical ForestsBackgroundThis article challenges widely-held views that the presence of exotic tree plantations in the tropics harm the environment. Through collecting evidence from experiences in tropical countries, the authors argue that exotic tree canopies exert protective functions - a nurse effect - for the regeneration of natural forest.
