Abstract
AbstractEucalyptus plantations (EP) offer a number of goods and services that can reduce pressure on native forests. Eucalyptus trees can also be invasive and have a negative impact on native species diversity and regeneration. This article deals with the complex interaction between EP and native forests by studying the case of the humid forests of Malagasy Central High Land that are surrounded by EP. Floristic inventories were carried out on 400 m2 plots in adjacent secondary forests (n = 5) and EP (n = 6). Eucalyptus has not spread to secondary forests understory. Native species from secondary forests have colonised EP understory.
