Impacts of Eucalypt genetics at the community and ecosystem levels

最近研究表明，优势树种的遗传学对相关的生物多样性和生态系统过程具有深远的影响。 如果这一发现被证明是普遍的，并被证明是澳大利亚的标志性的euclets的情况下，那么了解他们的遗传学将提供重要的见解，生物组织和生态过程的驱动程序在澳大利亚的原生森林和林地。这也将对澳大利亚迅速扩大的环境和林业种植产生重大影响，其中种子来源的选择可能会产生深远的影响。

The genetics of a dominant tree species has recently been shown to have far reaching effects on associated biodiversity and ecosystem processes. If this finding proves to be general and is shown to be the case for Australia's iconic eucalypts then understanding their genetics will provide significant insights into the drivers of biological organisation and ecological processes in Australia's native forests and woodlands. This will also have major implications for the rapidly expanding environmental and forestry plantings across Australia where choice of seed source may have far reaching consequences.
