Dear I am conducting my research on multidimensional aspects of Eucalyptus tree farming in small holder rural community. How can I model the best site selection for these species planting?
Thank you very much in advance for your response and suggestion.
Why eucalyptus? There are lot of negative impacts of this tree,and which variety, that are also important. Generally 200 trees per acre.
You could try to search for areas that fit optimum the climatic and soil condition needed for this species using remote sensings. As you can see in some paper, in the same catchment you can find a huge variability.
I hope this will help you

We have problems with Eucalyptus species brought from outside - they became nuisance due to higher resistance to semi-draught apart from competing for resources with our local species. Sporadic forest fire were noted which i believe were due to the leaf litters of this species. You may want to reconsider Eucalyptus and seek alternative among local species of your area.

Why not

Any x-referenced research? There are many benefits also. This is the largest commercial grown tree for variety of products. In every household there is a eucalyptus based product.... starting with paper, plyboard, creams, pastes, scents, towels...tissue...
Generally 200 trees per acre.
Any research on that ??
Commercial plantations world over on range of 400 per acre to 700 per acre.
NE and Bangladesh should infact grow more Eucalyptus under - a. Agroforestry b. degraded forest lands in order to conserve balance good natural forests

1. What are the existing crops is important- Paddy boundary with euca is quite common in Thailand, Brazil, India, China. Pineapple with wider spacing is lucrative in Myanmar. With Paired Row Agro-forestry one can grow practically anything with Euca. People grow sugarcane, maize, mustard, cotton
2. Climate - Windy area - can use Euca as wind breaks. Flooding area - If every one grows in their fields boundaries it creates barrier for flood water flow. Low rain fall - Helps in making the climate cool if many people grow. Being a straight growing tree with less braches - it helps with many agri crops
