• Amendment incorporation to increase soil water retention 

  Wallace, Dirk (Lincoln University, 2018)

  This thesis comprises two small core studies and two lysimeter studies, which are aimed at understanding how incorporation of soil amendments at cultivation can increase soil water retention in New Zealand’s shallow stony ...

• Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale 

  Makiola, Andreas (Lincoln University, 2018)

  Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale ...

• Investigations of soil extractable aluminium and toxicity in New Zealand soils 

  Whitley, Amy Elizabeth (Lincoln University, 2018)

  Soil acidity and associated soil aluminium (Al) toxicity severely restrict the establishment, yield and persistence of legumes in New Zealand high and hill country pastures. There is an urgent need to identify soils which ...

• Modelling calmodulin dependent calcium signalling involved with synaptic plasticity 

  Stevens-Bullmore, Hamish Edward (Lincoln University, 2018)

  Neurotransmission of synapses is plastic in that they get modulated to increase or decrease conductivity (this is known as synaptic plasticity). Synaptic plasticity consists of two opposing forces: long term potentiation ...

• Survival and sensory assessment of probiotic bacteria on non-dairy foods 

  Min, Min (Lincoln University, 2018)

  This research provides new understanding of the survival of probiotic bacteria on non-dairy foods, and the role of bacteria strains, non-dairy food matrices, storage temperature and relative humidity on bacteria viability ...
