The landscape around Dili naturally supports dry deciduous forests. Common tree species there include ''Sterculia foetida'', ''Callophyllum teysmanii'', and ''Aleurites moluccana''. ''Eucalyptus alba'' is found in rocky areas, and palm and acacia trees are also found. The eucalyptus trees often serve as firewood, while nuts from ''A. moluccana'' are sometimes burnt to produce lighting. Trees found within urban areas include ''Alstonia scholaris'', ''Albizia julibrissin'', ''Ficus microcarpa'', and a variety of fruit trees. Coral reefs, seagrass meadows, intertidal mudflats, and mangroves can be found along some areas of the coastline. While forests around the city have been damaged by harvesting for construction and firewood, the national government aims to reforest these areas.
