Soil-landscape models as a basis of land resource assessment Flock Hill Station, Central Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
A methodology for using physiographic analysis and soil-landscape models to apply nationally available data to land resource assessment at the property level is outlined. The analytical procedure promotes the sequential ...
An investigation into aspect related erosion forms in a valley in the Port Hills, Banks Peninsula
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
The study region is in an asymmetrical valley about 100 m a.s.l., within the Port Hills, Banks Peninsula. Mass movement of the loess colluvium regolith mantling the southwest facing backslopes is common but has rarely ...
The fate of nitrogen under an animal urine patch
(Lincoln University, 1992)
A lysimeter study was conducted to determine the fate of ¹⁵N-labelled urine applied to a pasture soil. The influence of subsoiling upon the fate of the nitrogen was also measured and the accuracy of selected soil nitrogen ...
Fluxes of carbon and water in a Pinus radiata plantation and a clear-cut, subject to soil water deficit
(Lincoln University, 1998)
This thesis investigates the abiotic control of carbon (C) and water vapour fluxes (FCO₂ and E, respectively) in a New Zealand Pinus radiata D. Don plantation and a nearby clearcut. It concentrates on the limitation of ...
Radiocarbon chronology and problems in its interpretation for Quaternary loess deposits - South Canterbury, New Zealand
(Soil Science Society of America, 1973)
The sequence of events for the loess deposits on the Timaru Downs as indicated by ¹⁴C dating of clay-organic complexes, and whole and fractionated peat deposits is as follows: present soil and surficial peat have been ...
Investigation of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR): Its applicability to irrigation scheduling, and evapotranspiration estimation in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1991)
Time Domain Reflectometry is a relatively new technique for measuring soil moisture content and has not yet been proven as a reliable tool for routine field measurements. This thesis presents results to show that the TOR ...
Influence of media, nitrogen sources, and N-serve on growth of container grown Callistephus chinensis "Pink Princess"
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
In commercial nursery crop production, several advantages
can be derived from growing plants in containers, however, large volumes of
material are required to fill these containers. Because
physical characteristics of ...
Effects on nutrient cycling of burning beech cutover land in the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1981)
Effects of different intensities of logging and logging/burning on the redistribution and loss of some major nutrient elements and organic constituents were studied over a two year period (from January 1977 to' February ...
The growth of grasses and legumes on a sequence of acid soils as affected by liming and phosphate fertiliser
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
The causes of differential growth of lucerne, lotus, ryegrass and brown top on a range of three acid soils were investigated by means of pot trials carried out in the glasshouse.
Of the four species, lucerne was affected ...
Land application of liquid waste: a case study of piggery waste application on light soils
(Lincoln University, 1990)
This study was conducted on soil from the Burnham piggery which is located on the Alluvial plains of mid-Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Selwyn rivers. Effluent from the piggery is spray-irrigated onto the adjacent ...
