Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, this data collection was produced via a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, and quantitative scenario analysis of land-use and sustainability for Australia... more’s intensive-use agricultural land to 2050, under intersecting global change and domestic policies, and considering key uncertainties. We assessed land use competition between multiple land uses and assessed sustainability of economic returns and multiple ecosystem services at high spatial (1.1 km grid cell) and temporal (annual) resolution. Results available are for 648 scenarios covering combinations of four global outlooks, three general circulation climate models, three domestic land-use policies, three productivity growth rates, three land-use change adoption hurdle rates, and two capacity constraint settings. Outputs included for each scenario are: - annual land-use layers - summary data table - graphical dashboard summary - animation of potential land-use change, drivers, and impacts. This analysis was conducted in conjunction with CSIRO’s Australian National Outlook 2015 initiative to assess future potential land-use change and the impacts for the sustainability of ecosystem services. A full description of the methods and synthesis of the results can be found in the papers listed in the Related Information below and freely available via email from the author. The data is provided to support a national conversation on the future for Australian land systems, public decision-making and policy design, and further scientific research. less

X chromosome variants are associated with male fertility traits in two bovine populations. Fortes, Porto-Neto et al. 2020. Twenty-five phenotypes were measured as indicators of bull fertility (1099 Br... moreahman and 1719 Tropical Composite bulls). Measurements included sperm morphology, scrotal circumference, and sperm chromatin phenotypes such as DNA fragmentation and protamine deficiency. We estimated the heritability of these phenotypes and carried genome-wide association studies (GWAS) within breed, using the bovine high-density chip, to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL). Our analyses suggested that both sperm DNA fragmentation and sperm protamine deficiency are heritable (h2 ranging from 0.10 to 0.22). To confirm these first estimates of heritability further studies on sperm chromatin traits, with larger datasets are desirable. Our GWAS identified QTL for bull fertility traits, based on at least five polymorphisms (P < 10-8) for each QTL. Most of the significant polymorphisms detected in both breeds were on the X chromosome. The QTL were breed-specific, but for some traits, a closer inspection of GWAS results revealed suggestive SNP associations (P < 10-7) in both breeds. For example, the QTL for inhibin in Braham could be relevant to Tropical Composites too (many polymorphisms reached P < 10-7 in the same region). The QTL for sperm midpiece morphological abnormalities on X (QTL peak at 4.92 Mb, P < 10-17) is an example of a breed-specific QTL, supported by several significant SNPs (P < 10-8) in Brahman, but absent in Tropical Composites. The reported GWAS results add evidence to the mammalian specialization of the X chromosome, which during evolution has accumulated genes linked to spermatogenesis. Some of the polymorphisms on X were associated to more than one genetically correlated trait (correlations ranged from 0.33 to 0.51). Correlations and shared polymorphism associations support the hypothesis that these phenotypes have the same underlying cause, i.e. defective spermatogenesis. Genetic improvement for bull fertility is possible through genomic selection, which is likely more accurate if the QTL on X are considered in the predictions. Polymorphisms associated with male fertility accumulate on X in cattle, as in humans and mice, suggesting specialization of this chromosome.less

VineLOGIC is a model of grapevine growth and development. It integrates the influence of climate, soil water and salt balance on growth and yield. It operates at a point scale and uses a daily time st... moreep, requiring historical daily weather data from the closest station as inputs. Source code released through this publication underpins separate software with capacity to vary inputs and run simulations. Inputs include the amount and salinity of irrigation water, the way in which the irrigation is applied, e.g. full or partial ground cover, and key components of a typical vineyard, e.g. wine grape variety and rootstock type, pruning and trellis system type, soil type, vine carbohydrate reserve and depth to watertable at the start of the season, groundwater salinity, root zone salinity at simulation start time and mid-row floor management, such as presence or absence of a cover crop. Outputs include key phenology dates, for example, budburst, flowering, veraison and harvest time, growth parameters such as leaf area index and weights of dormant pruning wood, bunch number and yield per vine, berry number per bunch, berry attributes at harvest plus all key parameters of soil water and salt balance, e.g. total evapotranspiration, vine water uptake, surface soil water evaporation, irrigation added, drainage and water stress indices if water deficits occurred at specific growth stages. While the model has access to a wide range of regional climate data and vineyard soil types, climate data for just one region (Mildura, Victoria) and one soil type are intended to be provided through experimental data sets to be published separately in Data Access Portal for running with a test script included in the current collection. Similarly, while the model has access to a range of wine grape varieties and rootstock types, only a limited number are intended to be provided for running with this test script.less

Vegetation Fractional Cover represents the exposed proportion of Photosynthetic Vegetation (PV), Non-Photosynthetic Vegetation (NPV) and Bare Soil (BS) within each pixel. The sum of the three fraction... mores is 100% (+/- 3%) and shown in Red/Green/Blue colors. In forested canopies the photosynthetic or non-photosynthetic portions of trees may obscure those of the grass layer and/or bare soil. This product is derived from the MODIS Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance product (MCD43A4) collection 6 and has 500 meters spatial resolution. A suite of derivative products are also produced including monthly fractional cover, total vegetation cover (PV+NPV), and anomaly of total cover against the time series. Monthly: The monthly product is aggregated from the 8-day composites using the medoid method. Anomaly: represents the difference between total vegetation cover (PV+NPV) in a given month and the mean total vegetation cover for that month in all years available, expressed in units of cover. For example, if the mean vegetation cover in January (2001-current year) was 40% and the vegetation cover for the pixel in January 2018 was 30%, the anomaly for the pixel in Jan 2018 would be -10%. Decile: represents the ranking (in ten value intervals) for the total vegetation cover in a given month in relation to the vegetation cover in that month for all years in the time-series. MODIS fractional cover has been validated for Australia. less
