The effects of irrigation on soil carbon and nitrogen stocks of pumice soils
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The use of irrigation has become important for sustaining the production of food, fibre and biofuel. In New Zealand (NZ), irrigation of pastures is increasing in areas with seasonal water deficits, such as the Central North ... -
The impact of maize silage production and supplementary feed use on the carbon balance of New Zealand dairy farms
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Globally, agriculture contributes 10-12% to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Consequently, mitigation of agricultural GHGs has taken on increased importance, particularly in countries like New Zealand where ... -
The role of Empodisma robustum litter in CO₂ exchange at Kopuatai bog
(University of Waikato, 2014)Respiration from the decomposition of standing dead litter in peatlands influences the ecosystem carbon balance through its contribution to total ecosystem respiration (ER). This research determined the proportion of ER ... -
The temperature response of nitrate removal in denitrification beds
(University of Waikato, 2014)The addition of reactive nitrogen (Nᵣ) to agricultural systems has helped crop production match human population growth. However, the addition of Nᵣ comes at a cost to environment in the form of ozone destruction, habitat ... -
The temperature response of soil respiration from labile and stable carbon
(The University of Waikato, 2020)The effect of temperature on the decomposition of labile and stable carbon (C) in soil is a critical factor in understanding soil C dynamics, particularly under a global warming scenario. Despite the temperature response ... -
Water use efficiency of grazed pastures under contrasting diversity
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Agriculture must increase food production to support a growing global population; however, this required increase in production is potentially restricted by freshwater supply for irrigation. Consequently, relying on ...
