Factors affecting the response of thrips to an olfactory cue
(Lincoln University, 2013)
Some thrips (Order Thysanoptera) are key pests of many greenhouse and outdoor crops worldwide. Biological attributes such as polyphagy, rapid reproduction, cryptic behaviour and insecticide resistance make them particularly ...
Impacts of livestock grazing on soil physical quality and phosphorus and suspended sediment losses in surface runoff
(Lincoln University, 2010)
Livestock grazing is considered a major contributor in the loss of phosphorus (P) and suspended sediment (SS) from soil in surface runoff, which in turn can have adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Recent and ongoing ...
The interactive effects of nitrogen fertiliser and animal urine on nitrogen efficiency and losses in New Zealand dairy farming systems
(Lincoln University, 2013)
The loss of nitrogen (N) through nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from pastoral dairy systems is one of the largest challenges facing the New Zealand agricultural industry. Nitrate leaching ...
Urban ecology in Christchurch: a reconciliation approach to enhancing native biodiversity on urban greyfields
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Traditionally New Zealand ecological research has focused on nature outside of cities,
however, as with global trends, there is now more interest being given to the ecological
functioning of cities and the potential they ...
Modelling differences in angler choice behaviour with advanced discrete choice models
(Lincoln University, 2009)
New Zealand is internationally renowned for having some of the finest and most challenging trout fishing in the world. However, due to continuing development and angling pressure many fishing sites are showing signs of ...
Effects of flow regime on the distribution, richness and abundance of alien plants in braided rivers of New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2016)
Braided river floodplains in the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand are classified as threatened ecosystems currently undergoing dramatic changes, including adjacent land-use intensification and increased water abstraction. ...
Stakeholder dialogue as a forum for community engagement in the upland forestry projects in the Philippines
(Lincoln University, 2013)
A key attribute of an integrated approach to forestry management is one which accords adequate consideration to bio-economic and social imperatives. The recent literature, dealing with such complex and multi-faceted ...
Eutrophication in coastal New Zealand lakes and the mitigation potential of phosphorus immobilization using clay based amendments
(Lincoln University, 2017-11-14)
Water amendments were analysed in-vitro to identify their potential for phosphate sequestration in coastal lakes and water bodies, in an effort to reduce their phosphorus levels.
The potential amendments were identified: ...
Aspects of soil ecology of rhizobia affecting nodule occupancy on lucerne and white clover
(Lincoln University, 2017-01-27)
Successful establishment of white clover (Trifolium repens) and lucerne (Medicago sativa) in the field depends on the formation of effective symbioses with Rhizobium leguminosarum and Sinorhizobium meliloti, respectively. ...
Effect of different irrigation systems on nitrous oxide emissions from urine applied to pasture soil
(Lincoln University, 2017-03-29)
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is one of the important greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contributes to climate change and depletion of the ozone layer. Nitrous oxide is produced by nitrification and denitrification processes in soils. ...
