| dc.description.abstract | The Australian tree, Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq. (Casuarinaceae), is widely planted for agroecosystem and other benefits, and belongs to a family (sheoaks) with wide adaptation and tolerance to environmental extremes. However, extreme cold as a stressor is not common on the Australian continent, so compared to heat and drought, less work has been done on the cold tolerance of Australian flora. Therefore, saplings of C. cunninghamiana were exposed to 0 to 4 months of extreme winter temperatures below -5°C to about -15°C over 2 years in Niğde, Central Anatolia, Turkey to test their cold sensitvity. Damage was severe, however, most plants exposed to 1 or 2 months of the milder temperatures (down to -5°C) at the beginning of winter recovered. Four months exposure killed all the plants. However, even the milder, early-winter conditions are unlikely to be suitable for the long-term productivity or survival of C. cunninghamiana and perhaps all members of its family. The risk of extreme cold needs to be considered when planting sheoaks beyond their native range. | |
