Carbon storage and DNA absorption in allophanic soils and paleosols
Huang, Yu-Tuan; Lowe, David J.; Churchman, G. Jock; Schipper, Louis A.; Rawlence, Nicolas J.; Cooper, Alan (Springer, New York, 2014)Andisols and andic paleosols dominated by the nanocrystalline mineral allophane sequester large amounts of carbon (C), attributable mainly to its chemical bonding with charged hydroxyl groups on the surface of allophane ... -
Characterizing porous microaggregates and soil organic matter sequestered in allophanic paleosols on Holocene tephras using synchrotron-based X-ray microscopy and spectroscopy
Huang, Doreen Yu-Tuan; Lowe, David J.; Churchman, G. Jock; Schipper, Louis A.; Cooper, Alan; Chen, Tsan-Yao; Rawlence, Nicolas J. (Nature Portfolio, 2021)Allophanic tephra-derived soils can sequester sizable quantities of soil organic matter (SOM). However, no studies have visualized the fine internal porous structure of allophanic soil microaggregates, nor studied the ... -
The effect of climate and environmental change on the megafaunal moa of New Zealand in the absence of humans
Rawlence, Nicolas J.; Metcalf, Jessica L.; Wood, Jamie R.; Worthy, Trevor H.; Austin, Jeremy J.; Cooper, Alan (Elsevier, 2012)New Zealand offers a unique opportunity to investigate the response of extinct megafaunal ecosystems to major changes in climate and habitat prior to human settlement. Prior to this point (late 13th Century AD) New Zealand ... -
Evaluating the character and preservation of DNA within allophane clusters in buried soils on Holocene tephras, northern New Zealand
Huang, Yu-Tuan; Churchman, G. Jock; Lowe, David J.; Rawlence, Nicolas J.; Schipper, Louis A.; Cooper, Alan (ACMS, 2012-02-07)Clay minerals possess sorptive capacities for organic and inorganic matter, including DNA (Lorenz and Wackernagel, 1994), and hence reduce the utilization and degradation of organic matter or DNA by microorganisms. Buried ... -
High-resolution coproecology: Using coprolites to reconstruct the habits and habitats of New Zealand’s extinct upland Moa (Megalapteryx didinus)
Wood, Jamie R.; Wilmshurst, Janet M.; Wagstaff, Steven J.; Worthy, Trevor H.; Rawlence, Nicolas J.; Cooper, Alan (Public Library of Science, 2012)Knowledge about the diet and ecology of extinct herbivores has important implications for understanding the evolution of plant defence structures, establishing the influences of herbivory on past plant community structure ...
