Using ensemble learning to model climate associated variation in wood properties of planted Eucalyptus nitens in north-western Tasmania
There is increasing interest in the phenotypic plasticity of tree species to variation in climate as it may affect the economic value of current and future plantations.

Effects of thinning on the longitudinal and radial variation in wood properties of Eucalyptus nitens
Eucalypt plantations in Tasmania have been managed predominantly for fibre production, but there is also growing interest in the production of solid wood products.

Genetic variation of microfibril angle and its relationship with solid wood and pulpwood traits in two progeny trials of Eucalyptus nitens in Tasmania
Microfibril angle (MFA) is a key biological trait contributing to wood stiffness, which is a common breeding objective for solid wood products in many tree species.
