Abstract
Casuarina trees are planted along the coast from Hainan province in South China to the Zhoushan Islands of Zhejiang province in Southeastern China. Three key species, Casuarina equisetifolia, Casuarina cunninghamiana and Casuarina glauca, are used as windbreaks, in agroforestry systems, and for the production of timber and fuel wood. Frankia have been studied in China since 1984. Today, Frankia research fields are very wide, and cover morphology, physiology and genetic diversity, and the application of inocula for specific purposes on poor quality sites. In this paper, we review the role of Frankia inoculations in nurseries and casuarina plantations in China and discuss the benefits of inoculation.
