Carbon dynamics of a dairy pasture: annual balance and impact of cultivation
(The University of Waikato, 2010)Maintenance of soil carbon (C) content is important because a relatively small percentage change in the global soil C store has the potential to cause a large change in atmospheric CO₂ concentration. Losses of soil C can ... -
Changes in soil carbon stocks of New Zealand’s grazed pasture in response to variations in management and environmental factors.
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand., 2015)Dairy farming is New Zealand‟s pre-eminent primary industry. It achieves large export earnings but is also responsible for a large proportion of the country‟s greenhouse gas emissions. One of those greenhouse gases is CO₂, ... -
Changes in δ¹⁵N in pastoral soils under varying management intensity
(University of Waikato, 2012)In New Zealand, nitrogen (N) inputs and losses have increased dramatically following establishment (and subsequent intensification) of European style pastoral agriculture from the 1800s. An indicator that could identify ... -
Water use efficiency of grazed pastures under contrasting diversity
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Agriculture must increase food production to support a growing global population; however, this required increase in production is potentially restricted by freshwater supply for irrigation. Consequently, relying on ...
