Exploring trees in Australia - natural vegetation to urban forest

This year, the Dendrologiska Utskottet initiates a series of lectures on the theme “Plants around the globe”! Once a month, a lecture with an invited speaker will be arranged, with focus on travels regarding trees or other plants in a particular part of the world. Open for everyone!

This is the first event in the serie, where Associate Professor John Rayne will talk about Exploring trees in Australia - natural vegetation to urban forest.

In this presentation John will explore Australian trees, with an emphasis on those in natural systems and trees in the urban forest. He will look at the distribution of vegetation communities across the country; describe the main tree genera and species commonly used; and conclude with a discussion of the urban forestry movement in Australia.
