Exotic Plant Species in Vietnam's Economy - The Contributions of Australian Trees Casuarinas, for example, provide protection to homes and agricultural fields from typhoons and desiccating westerly winds, stabilise moving dunes and provide valuable organic matter for farming.

The Hindu : Tamil Nadu / Tuticorin News : Rs.71 lakhs sanctioned for coastal afforestation in Tuticorin district The rest of the amount (Rs.15 lakhs) would be utilised for participatory rural appraisals, micro plan preparations, soil conservation, and community development activities, in those coastal hamlets where the casuarinas plantations were to be raised. Thirunavukarasu said as a prelude to raising plantation, the Forest department would start nursery activities from the third week of June, so that the casuarinas would be ready for planting in October. The entire exercise of enhancing the shelterbelt plantations was aimed at blunting the impact of cyclones and marine-based natural calamities like tsunami on the Tuticorin costal line and thereby avert the loss of lives to a great extent, he said. www.hindu.com /2005/06/13/stories/2005061302490300.htm   (387 words)

Antonius Roberts - Artist Takes Up Beleaguered Casuarina's Cause Despite a move by government to remove casuarina trees from coastal areas of Nassau, support for the casuarinas appears to be almost as resilient as the tree itself. To some, casuarinas are "weeds" that happen to be trees, and their only redeeming features are that they make good charcoal and provide shade on the beach. He pointed out that if casuarinas continue to be destroyed at the present rate, by the year 2010, all casuarina trees on the island will be completely wiped out. www.antoniusroberts.com /about/casuarina.html   (507 words)

FUNWORLD Magazine Working in collaboration with the forest department, Haller embarked on the first phase of the project by experimenting with more than 26 tree species, with only three species—the casuarinas, the conocarpus, and the coconut palm—surviving the devastated quarry floor. The casuarinas are fast-growing trees, tolerant to hot, salty conditions, whose fibrous needle-like leaves make it adaptable to such harsh conditions. To manufacture soil, crucial for growth of other plant species, Haller introduced the orange-legged millipede to eat the fallen casuari­nas leaves and churn them into soil, thus setting the stage for a unique ecological makeover. www.funworldmagazine.com /2006/jun/features/hallers_heaven/hallerheaven.html   (1317 words)
