Abstract
The agroforestry potential of 125 species of Acacia that occur in the subtropical dry zone of Australia is discussed. These species represent a vast genetic resource for reforestation in other subtropical, dry parts of the world. Information on each of these species, including their taxonomy, natural distribution (including climate and soils) and growth characteristics (habit, growth rate, longevity and coppicing ability) is given in tabular form. The table also presents an assessment of the potential of the 125 species for fuelwood, posts, sawn timber, stock fodder, human food, shade, windbreaks, live fences and soil protection. © 1994 Academic Press Limited.
