This article examines the water stress, transpiration and leaf area index in eucalypt plantations in a bauxite mining area in southwest Australia. The clearing of native forests for open cut mining for bauxite is a potential cause for severe modification of the hydrological cycle. In the Darling Range, Western Australia, jarrah woodlands are being cleared for mining and are being replaced with plantations of other eucalypts. The plantation trees, which were up to 8 years old, showed no greater water stress than those of the original forest. The leaf area index of older plantation trees was usually higher than that of the original, mature forest. |
