The effects of subsoiling on soil physical properties and crop production
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1989)
In the Canterbury and North Otago regions of New Zealand, many intensively cropped yellow-grey earths contain subsoils which have become compacted by traffic and/or natural processes and which therefore restrict root growth ...
A comparison of the cool season activity of two white clover cultivars
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)
Although New Zealand is fortunate in having a climate mild enough to allow some growth of pasture in winter even in the extreme south of the South Island (Duffy, 1971), growth is nevertheless considerably less than in ...
Chemical and mineralogical properties of a sequence of terrace soils near Reefton, New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
Changes brought about by chemical and physical weathering were investigated in a chronosequence of terrace soils near Reefton, New Zealand. The parent materials of the soil, which ranged in age from about 1000 to over ...
Spatial complexity and microclimatic responses of epiphyte communities and their invertebrate fauna in the canopy of northern rata (Metrosideros robusta A. Cunn.: Myrtaceae) on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Rain forest canopies are renowned for their very high biodiversity and the critical role they play in key ecological processes and their influence on global climate. Despite that New Zealand supports one of the most diverse ...
Metapopulation dynamics and behaviour of the endangered weevil, Hadramphus spinipennis in relation to its host plant Aciphylla dieffenbachii on the Chatham Islands, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1998)
The endangered monophagous coxella weevil, Hadramphus spinipennis (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae) is confined to two outlying islands of the Chatham Island group. This study was carried out on Mangere Island. The native forest, ...
Effects of predation and rabbit haemorrhagic disease on rabbit population dynamics in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2004)
This thesis investigated the effects of predation and a newly introduced biological control rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) - on rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) population dynamics in two bioclimatically diverse regions ...
A preliminary study of the fauna associated with lucerne, Medicago sativa L., variety Wairau in New Zealand : with special reference to pests, sampling methods and lucerne seed production
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1970)
Insects and other pests of Lucerne in New Zealand have received only spasmodic and cursory attention in the past (see Section 2.1). As a result, basic and applied information on insects associated with lucerne in New Zealand ...
Insects of Mount Cook National Park
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
The insect fauna of Mount Cook National Park was surveyed between 1975 and 1977. All of the major areas of the Park were visited and most vegetation types sampled for insects, although effort was concentrated in the alpine ...
Nodulation, growth and water use of chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.)
(Lincoln University, 1994)
The potential of chickpea as an alternative rotation crop in Canterbury has already been established. Experiments were therefore planned to investigate the effects of inoculation, additional nitrogen fertilizer and ...
A study of some factors affecting the growth of grasses introduced into hill pastures on sunny aspects in North Canterbury
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1977)
Grass and legume seedlings were planted to form legume and legume-grass swards on north-facing hill slopes at two sites in North Canterbury. At Hunua “College Glutinosa” lucerne and "Grasslands Nui" perennial ryegrass or ...
