Key Research Questions:
* What is the impact of altered water and nutrient supply on the
growth, carbon storage potential and water use of tree stands?
* What is the potential growth rate of eucalypt plantations under
optimal nutrition and water supply?
* How to scale from single-tree to stand-scale?
