Cadmium accumulation in three contrasting New Zealand soils with the same phosphate fertilizer history
(Elsevier, 2016)Cadmium (Cd) concentration in New Zealand (NZ) agricultural soils has increased due to phosphate fertilizer application, but it is not clear whether soils with different properties accumulate Cd at similar rates for given ... -
Carbon leaching from undisturbed soil cores treated with dairy cow urine
(CSIRO, 2012)Solubilisation of soil carbon (C) under cow urine patches may lead to losses of soil C by priming or leaching. We investigated the solubilisation and bioavailability of soil C in undisturbed pasture soil treated with urine. ... -
Changes in carbon and nitrogen stocks following conversion of plantation forest to dairy pasture on Vitrands (Pumice Soils), New Zealand
(2010)Between 1990 and 2010 some New Zealand plantation forests underwent deforestation to establish dairy farms. The main area of land-use conversion to pasture is to the north of Lake Taupo in the Central North Island (Figures ... -
Characterization of active layer water contents in the McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)The liquid soil water contents in the seasonally thawed layer (active layer) were characterized from seven soil climate monitoring sites - four coastal sites from south to north (Minna Bluff, Scott Base, Marble Point and ... -
The effect of human activities on moisture content of soils and underlying permafrost from the McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica
(1994)Soils and the underlying permafrost from undisturbed sites and sites that had been disturbed by construction activities at Marble Point and Pram Point in the McMurdo Sound region were sampled from excavated pits and drill ...

Pulp and paper effluent organic constituents interactions with soil matrices
(The University of Waikato, 2000)The land application of pulp and paper effluents has the potential to be a long-term sustainable solution for the requirements of industry and regulatory control of environmental impacts. A critical aspect of its success ... -
Spatial and temporal changes in soil climate and active layer depth in the Ross Sea Region, Antarctica, 1999-2018
(The University of Waikato, 2020)The depth of seasonal thaw (the active layer depth) integrates a range of soil and atmospheric climate variables and has potential to provide a clear signal of a changing climate. Nine soil climate monitoring stations (SCS) ... -
An investigation of soil moisture associated with ephemeral streams, Wright Valley, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Ephemeral streams in Wright Valley, Antarctica, are fed by glacial melt and flow for between four and ten weeks annually. Hyporheic zones develop concomitantly with ephemeral stream channels. These zones are areas of ... -
Use of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to determine moisture and temperature regimes in Antarctic soils
(The University of Waikato, 2004)Antarctic soil moisture and temperature data are important as the soil climate influence. Antarctic ecosystems, and the data may provide information on climate change, and the effects of human activities on the Antarctic ... -
The fate and effects of JP-5 fuel in Antarctic soil: A controlled experiment at Scott Base, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2002)Hydrocarbon contamination of Antarctic soils is evident in limited areas where accidental fuel spills have occurred, usually near scientific bases or field camps. To understand the short-term fate and effects of fuel spills ...
