Eucalyptus forests
Eucalyptus forests are ecosystems primarily composed of trees from the genus Eucalyptus, which are native to Australia and nearby islands. These trees are known for their tall stature, aromatic leaves, and ability to thrive in various climates, particularly in dry and temperate regions. Eucalyptus forests play a crucial role in their environments, providing habitat for diverse wildlife and contributing to soil health.
These forests are also significant for their economic value, as Eucalyptus wood is used in construction, paper production, and essential oils. Additionally, they are important for carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
