Southern Tasmania’s tall eucalyptus forests are exceptionally good at taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converting it into wood.
For many years, we have believed these forests had a reasonable buffer of safety from climate change, due to the cool, moist environment.
Unfortunately, my research published today shows...
