RE: Field trip to Lousã Mountains [Portugal] - Part 3 - Mimosa tree, a Sisyphus work?

You're totally right!! Eucalyptus and Pinus were also planted and are the main affected during summer fires. I actually don't know when pinus trees were planted, it was a long time ago. Eucalyptus were massively planted in the last 50-70 years. It's a pity, year after year the same arguments, but the same tragedy too! History says oak trees were cut to build Portuguese Caravels to be used by the navigators.
