Photosynthesis and transpiration in a dry-land Pinus radiata forest
(The University of Waikato, 1998)This thesis investigates biotic and abiotic regulation of photosynthesis and transpiration at the leaf and canopy scales in a dry-land Pinus radiata D. Don forest by combining gas exchange measurements with biophysical ... -
Succession of subalpine vegetation to Libocedrus bidwillii forest on a landslide-initiated soil chronosequence, Mount Taranaki, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 1988)Aspects of succession of subalpine vegetation on Mt Taranaki were examined in a vegetation chronosequence, initiated by four landslides on the same sideslope in 1333-1343 A.D., 1625 A.D., 1811-1817 A.D. and 1968-1971 A.D ... -
The effects of intensive grazing on nitrogen fixation by white clover
(The University of Waikato, 2003)The effects of the grazing animal (treading, defoliation, and excreta) on N2 fixation were investigated in an intensively managed legume-based dairy pasture in the Waikato region, North Island, New Zealand. Two major ... -
Carbohydrate storage and remobilisation: The mechanisms involved in woody stem tissue of apple trees
(The University of Waikato, 2003)This thesis investigated the storage and remobilisation of carbohydrate reserves in perennial woody stem tissue, using one-year-old apple stems. In this study, the theories developed in herbaceous annual species were applied ... -
Restiad bog development and nutrient dynamics of the dominant species
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Vegetation and peat in lowland restiad (dominated by Restionaceae) raised bogs on North Island (Waikato region) and Chatham Island, New Zealand, were sampled to investigate the main environmental controls of pattern and ...
