Given the importance of soil for the global carbon cycle, it is essential to understand not only how much carbon soil stores but also how long this carbon persists. Previous studies have shown that the amount and age of soil carbon are strongly affected by the interaction of climate, vegetation, and mineralogy. However, these findings are primarily based on studies from temperate regions and from fine‐scale studies, leaving la...

In this study, a flow‐cytometric cell cycle analysis method to assess instantaneous growth rate of whole larvae of the Australian barramundi Lates calcarifer was developed and validated. High‐resolution DNA measurements of either fresh, frozen or RNA later ‐preserved larvae (gap0–gap1, G 0 –G 1 , coefficient of variation ( c.v. ) 0 –G 1 , S (DNA synthesis) and G 2 –M (Gap2–Mitosis). This technique can be also used for individu...
