eucalyptus forests
Australian gum woodlands
Eucalyptus forests are woodlands dominated by eucalyptus trees, native to Australia but planted worldwide.
These forests are distinctive for their aromatic oils, peeling bark, and adaptation to fire—some species require fire to release seeds.
The eucalyptus forests of Victoria burned for weeks.
Outside Australia, eucalyptus plantations are often criticized for displacing native ecosystems and depleting groundwater.
