Ecological Role of Eucalyptus (3)

Eucalyptus trees regulate water cycle through high uptake, reducing salinization but posing challenges in arid areas.

Ecological Role of Eucalyptus (3)

Water Cycle Regulation:

• Water Uptake: Eucalyptus trees are known for their high water uptake, which can help lower water tables and reduce the risk of salinization in certain landscapes. However, this trait can also be a drawback in water-scarce areas  .

• Transpiration: They contribute to the water cycle through the process of transpiration, influencing local and regional humidity and precipitation patterns.
