摘要：

This paper presents the results of a study of tree growth in farm forestry eucalypt plantations in the low- to medium-rainfall (450-700 mm y(-1)) regions of New South Wales, Australia, in an attempt to estimate the productivity of the plantations. The species measured include Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. botryoides, E. globulus, E. albens, E. polyanthemos, E. microcarpa, E. melliodora, E. sideroxylon, E. crebra and Corymbia maculata. At age 10 y, mean dominant height (100 tallest trees per hectare) ranged from 7.5 to 18.8 m, mean top basal area (thickest 100 stems ha(-1)) from 1.5 to 9.2 m(2) ha(-1), volume from 9.5 to 125.9 m(3) ha(-1), total above-ground biomass from 12.5 to 105.8 t ha(-1), and mean carbon density (above ground) from 11.2 to 35.2 t ha(-1).
