Root Biomass under Range of Pasture Swards -Implications for Soil Carbon Stocks
(University of Waikato, 2015)Soil carbon (C) is the largest terrestrial store of carbon, greater than all other pools combined. Root biomass is recognised as an important contributor to the accumulation of soil C and recent studies have suggested that ... -
Temperature and Moisture Sensitivity of Soil Microbial Respiration in Adjacent Irrigated and Non-Irrigated Soils
(University of Waikato, 2017)Irrigation is a commonly used management practice that is crucial for increasing plant growth and production, especially in areas prone to drought such as the Canterbury region of the South Island, New Zealand. Historically, ... -
The effects of irrigation on soil carbon and nitrogen stocks of pumice soils
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The use of irrigation has become important for sustaining the production of food, fibre and biofuel. In New Zealand (NZ), irrigation of pastures is increasing in areas with seasonal water deficits, such as the Central North ... -
The impact of maize silage production and supplementary feed use on the carbon balance of New Zealand dairy farms
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Globally, agriculture contributes 10-12% to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Consequently, mitigation of agricultural GHGs has taken on increased importance, particularly in countries like New Zealand where ...
