Development & validation of rapid, sensitive, & specific infield isothermal molecular diagnostic assays for endemic forestry pathogens in Australia
Forest and Wood Products Australia (FWPA)
Develop functionality in APSIM that provides input to YTGen for generating yield tables suitable for input to Woodstock. Alternatives to the YTGen-Woodstock combination can also be considered. This will allow woodflow and forest valuation modelling under alternative climate scenarios that can be operationally rerun as new climate forecasts are provided,...
