Abstract

Exotic plant species are playing a significant role in Vietnam’s rural economy and provide basic needs of food, fuel and shelter. Australian tree species, notably the acacias, casuarinas and eucalypts have become a common feature of Vietnam’s rural landscape and provide considerable economic, social and environmental benefits. The uses of these species are highlighted in a study of exotic species in rural land use in four villages in Quang Tri Province.
