Growing Degree Day Targets for Fruit Development of Australian Mango Cultivars II Harvest Windows

Forecasting the mango harvest window from flowering aids cultivar selection and harvest planning. This study evaluated the cross-site and cross-season generalizability of accumulated growing degree days (GDD) calculated using either a lower base temperature (Tb) alone or both low...

Aboveground carbon dynamics following plantation thinning to establish a silvopastoral system in subtropical Australia

Abstract Understanding the impact of plantation thinning for silvopastoral systems (SPS) on carbon storage is crucial for the development of grazing systems to integrate production and carbon goals. This study compared aboveground carbon (AGC) among a SPS established through thin...

Chilled and freeze-dried preservation of saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) spermatozoa

CONTEXT: Artificial insemination in farmed crocodiles is limited by poor sperm survival after cryopreservation, requiring alternative preservation strategies. AIMS: This study evaluated the effects of three extenders on saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) semen during chille...
