BellingenNSWThe Eucalyptus Plantations of the Plantationocene“Introducing monoculture stands of eucalyptus into other regions brings a new and dangerous flammability into ecosystems. Using exotic fire-prone trees for afforestation in tree-planting schemes under a heating and drying climate has the potential to literally backfire, releasing carbon while also risking local tragedy and ecological damage.”"From the Amazon rainforest to California, Madagascar to Spain, monoculture forests are being grown over huge areas, with eucalyptus among the most popular species. A growing number of tree-planting schemes are allocated to carbon offsetting projects and government contributions towards the Paris agreement – with many countries looking to plant increasing swathes of forest to meet their obligations. According on one estimate, eucalyptus plantations cover at least 22m hectares (54m acres) around the world." >> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/24/eucalyptus-plantations-are-expanding-and-being-blamed-for-devastation-pedrogao-grande-aoe" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/24/eucalyptus-plantations-are-expanding-and-being-blamed-for-devastation-pedrogao-grande-aoe</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/eucalyptus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eucalyptus</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/monocultures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monocultures</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Plantationocene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plantationocene</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ForestryCorporation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForestryCorporation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LoggingIndustry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bushfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bushfires</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/offsets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#offsets</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a>
