Action on the ground: A review of community environmental groups’ restoration objectives, activities and partnerships in New Zealand
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2015)More than 600 community environmental groups across New Zealand are engaged in restoring degraded sites and improving and protecting habitat for native species. In the face of ongoing biodiversity declines, resource ... -
Anthropogenic phosphorus loads to Lake Rotorua
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2015)Past wastewater disposal practices and ongoing catchment land-use intensification have resulted in the eutrophication of Lake Rotorua. These changes have been associated with elevated nutrient loads to the lake from point ... -
Application of flow cytometry for examining phytoplankton succession in two eutrophic lakes
(IWA Publishing, 2011)Flow cytometry has potential as a rapid assessment technique to evaluate phytoplankton biomass and species composition. It facilitates for multi-parameter analysis of individual cells on the basis of light scattering effects ... -
Applying citizen science to freshwater ecosystem restoration – fact sheet
(Lake Ecosystem Restoration New Zealand (LERNZ), University of Waikato, 2015)Citizen science describes the diverse ways in which the public participates in scientific investigations. Participation covers a spectrum from sending observations to a project coordinator to designing, implementing ... -
Are geothermal streams important sites of nutrient uptake in an agricultural and urbanising landscape (Rotorua, New Zealand)?
(Wiley, 2012-01)Increased nutrient loading and eutrophication are common problems for lakes globally (Carpenter et al., 1998; Smith & Schindler, 2009). New Zealand is no exception, where 30% of lakes >1 ha have very poor to extremely poor ...

Redox cycling of colloidal macro- and micro-nutrients in a monomictic lake
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Lakes are more than just water bodies as they play an essential role in the cycling of nutrients and carbon, with impacts at the local and global scale. This study selected Lake Ngapouri, a small monomictic lake in the ... -
Novel approaches for modelling changes in phytoplankton diversity and lake ecosystem function
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Ecosystem function represents the collective outcome of many different processes. Function may be interrupted by events that originate from outside a system, influencing biological diversity dynamics. Difficulties in ... -
Phytoplankton dynamics in North Island lakes, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2006)The dynamics of phytoplankton were investigated in 40 lakes of the North Island, New Zealand. A range of environmental variables was examined on different temporal and spatial scales in relation to the surface and DCM ( ... -
Dynamics of internal nutrient loading in a eutrophic, polymictic lake (Lake Rotorua, New Zealand)
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Lake Rotorua is a large (80 krn2), polymictic, eutrophic, shalJow (mean depth 10.8 m) lake in central North Island, New Zealand. Blooms of cyanobacteria and occasional anoxia of bottom waters are characteristic of the ... -
Seasonal and spatial patterns in nitrogen cycling and food web interactions in Lake Taupō New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Lakes with high water quality and low productivity, commonly referred to as ‘oligotrophic’, are often viewed as relatively pristine and highly aesthetic ecosystems, but may still require management of nutrient inputs and ...
