Using organic phosphorus to sustain pasture productivity: A perspective
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Organic phosphorus (P) in grazed pastures/grasslands could sustain production systems that historically relied on inorganic P fertiliser. Interactions between inorganic P, plants and soils have been studied extensively. ...
Author correction: Influence of soil moisture on codenitrification fluxes from a urea-affected pasture soil
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-03-07)
Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-02278-y, published online 19 May 2017.
This article contains an error in Figure 3, where the y-axis ‘DOC (μg g⁻¹ soil)’ is incorrectly labelled as ‘DOC ...
Soil microbial diversity in adjacent forest systems – contrasting native, old growth kauri (Agathis australis) forest with exotic pine (Pinus radiata) plantation forest
(Oxford University Press (OUP) on behalf of Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), 2020-05)
Globally, the conversion of primary forests to plantations and agricultural landscapes is a common land use change. Kauri (Agathis australis) is one of the most heavily impacted indigenous tree species of New Zealand with ...
The relationship between soil moisture and soil water repellency persistence in hydrophobic soils
(MDPI, 2020-09)
In this work, we modelled the response of soil water repellency (SWR) persistence to the decrease in moisture in drying soils, and we explored the implication of soil particle size distribution and specific surface area ...
A bioassay to compare the disease suppressive capacity of pasture soils
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.), 2015)
© 2015 New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.). Dynamic pathogen complexes can develop under pastures, thereby substantially reducing potential productivity. Suppression of such pathogen complexes is therefore of great ...
Impacts of phosphogypsum, soluble fertilizer and lime amendment of acid soils on the bioavailability of phosphorus and sulphur under lucerne (Medicago sativa)
(MDPI, 2020-07)
Legumes play critical dual roles in grazed grassland ecosystems; providing nitrogen inputs and high-quality feed for grazing livestock. However, many species fail to persist in acidic, low fertility soils. A glasshouse ...
Preliminary study of the potential for phosphorus loss with the development of organic soils
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2013)
Organic Soils (organic matter concentration > 30%) cover 200,000 ha in New Zealand, of which around 67,000 ha have been converted for intensive land use (viz. dairy). However, Organic Soils have a number of properties that ...
Effects of plantation forest species on soil phosphorus
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2012)
Highlights: The findings of this study revealed that depletion of top soil Po under all of the three tree species over 10 years following afforestation of grassland had a rapid and major impact on soil properties and ...
Co-occurring increased phosphatase activity and labile P depletion in the rhizosphere of Lupinus angustifolius assessed with a novel, combined 2D-imaging approach
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Innovative non-destructive 2D imaging methods such as zymography and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) have been developed recently to assess the distribution of phosphatase activity and labile solutes at the root-soil ...
Impact of nitrogen compounds on fungal and bacterial contributions to codenitrification in a pasture soil
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-16)
Ruminant urine patches on grazed grassland are a significant source of agricultural nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions. Of the many biotic and abiotic N₂O production mechanisms initiated following urine-urea deposition, ...
