Eucalyptus expansion in Brazil: Energy yield in new forest frontiers

An expansion of planted Eucalyptus spp. forests can supply an important part of society's demand for biofuels. To do so, a diversity of genetic materials field-grown under seasonal drought stress, different soil type and technological wood qualities have to be evaluated in new forest frontiers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the yield and wood characteristics of five Eucalyptus spp. clones in a field experiment with regard to E. urophylla...
