Urban Restoration Ecology: Investigating environmental change, ecological function, and enrichment planting
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Ecosystems worldwide are being degraded and destroyed by human actions on an unprecedented level. This continues despite growing evidence that intact, functioning ecosystems are critical to human health and well-being. The ... -
Temporal variability in the water quality of a deep temperate oligotrophic lake
(University of Waikato, 2016)Lakes change over time in response to climate and catchment disturbance, even in the absence of anthropogenic stressors. This temporal change may impact the setting of reference conditions for lakes. Many sources of ... -
Functional trait variation along a hydrological gradient and trait-based predictions of the composition of a wetland plant community
(University of Waikato, 2016)Predicting the assembly of plant communities is considered the Holy Grail of functional ecology and has never been more important as we head into an era of environmental change. Studying plant functional traits provides ... -
Carbon inputs to soil from roots of two contrasting pasture swards
(University of Waikato, 2016)The soil carbon (C) pool is one of the largest pools of C in the terrestrial environment. Soil management strategies to increase soil C are of interest globally to reduce atmospheric CO₂ concentrations which are contributing ... -
Interactions between soil fertility and climate drive variation in functional traits in New Zealand forests.
(University of Waikato, 2015)Plant functional traits provide a mechanistic approach to understanding the processes of environmental filtering and community assembly. Variation along environmental gradients results in changes in the adaptive values of ...
