• Ecological restoration at Matawai Park: reconciling management and forest ecology: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Resource Studies with Honours 

  Geritzlehner, J. (Lincoln University, 1997)

  In lowland areas of New Zealand agricultural systems have largely replaced the indigenous biota. Ecological restoration efforts in Christchurch and its surrounds are attempts to bring indigenous biota back into human ...

• Climate-change impacts exacerbate conservation threats in island systems: New Zealand as a case study 

  Macinnis-Ng, C.; Mcintosh, A. R.; Monks, J. M.; Waipara, N.; White, R. S. A.; Boudjelas, S.; Clark, C. D.; Clearwater, M. J.; Curran, Timothy J.; Dickinson, K. J. M.; Nelson, N.; Perry, G. L. W.; Richardson, S. J.; Stanley, M. C.; Peltzer, D. A. (Wiley on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2021-02-09)

  Rapid advances in eradicating invasive species from islands are improving conservation outcomes in these biodiversity hotspots. However, recent conservation gains could be reversed not only by future invasions from non-native ...

• An improved clearing and staining protocol for evaluation of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation in darkly pigmented woody roots 

  Moukarzel, Romy; Ridgway, Hayley J.; Guerin-Laguette, A.; Jones, Elizabeth E. (New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.), 2020-01-27)

  Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic interactions with the roots of vascular plants, including grapevines. Verifying AMF colonisation routinely requires establishing the presence of hyphae, arbuscules and ...

• Applied research to progress and support close-to-market pest control tools and their strategic application 

  Warburton, B.; Ross, J.; McFarlane, Lynette M. (Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research and Lincoln University, 2017-11)

  Recent allocation of research funding from New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge (NZBH-NSC) has focused on high-tech solutions for pest management in New Zealand. However, stakeholders have expressed ...

• Shoot flammability of vascular plants is phylogenetically conserved and related to habitat fire-proneness and growth form 

  Cui, Xinglei; Paterson, Adrian M.; Wyse, Sarah; Alam, Md Azharul; Maurin, K. J. L.; Pieper, R.; Padullés Cubino, J.; OConnell, Dean; Donkers, D.; Bréda, J.; Buckley, Hannah L.; Perry, G. L. W.; Curran, Timothy J. (Springer Nature, 2020-04)

  Terrestrial plants and fire have interacted for at least 420 million years. Whether recurrent fire drives plants to evolve higher flammability and what the evolutionary pattern of plant flammability is remain unclear. Here, ...
