“The world’s only Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment experiment in a mature, warm temperate forest ecosystem”
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Cumberland Plain area which are on Dharug country. We want to pay our respects to Elders past and present. Read more about the Dharug territory here >>
EucFACE – Eucalyptus Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment Experiment – is designed to predict the effects of rapidly rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on Australia’s unique native forests. No such experiment of this size has ever been done in the Southern Hemisphere.
To contact us please use the contact form at the bottom of this page. There are also contact details for people involved with EucFACE here.
Part of the @PowerhouseMuseum #Eucalyptusdom exhibition, 'Eucalypts in a changing climate' talk and tour of #EucFACE is on this Sunday.

It was a pleasure to see them up close this week following a last minute dash to EucFACE. We want to understand how elevated CO2 affects flower scent.#villumfonden #EucBeaut #eucalyptus #climatechange pic.twitter.com/YSTsyHB4Wu
