Reducing the number of tillers per plant using a t iller in hibition ( tin ) gene has been considered as an important trait for wheat production in dryland environments. We used a spatial analysis approach with a daily time‐step coupled radiation and transpiration efficiency model to simulate the impact of the reduced‐tillering trait on wheat yield under different climate change scenarios across Australia's arable land. Our re...

Higher transpiration efficiency ( TE ) has been proposed as a mechanism to increase crop yields in dry environments where water availability usually limits yield. The application of a coupled radiation and TE simulation model shows wheat yield advantage of a high‐ TE cultivar (cv. Drysdale) over its almost identical low‐ TE parent line (Hartog), from about −7 to 558 kg/ha (mean 187 kg/ha) over the rainfed cropping region in Au...

68Stakeholders' questions about subtropical and tropical forests can be as diverse and unique as the forests themselves. Obtaining the information needed to begin answering these questions requires innovation and adaptation of existing forest mensuration and inventory techniques that were developed primarily for use in temperate and boreal forests with a strong forest industry presence. Five cycles of forest inventory and moni...
