Species-specific and mixed-species volume and above ground biomass allometric
equations were developed for 15 indigenous tree species and four tree fern species in New …

Background Natural forests cover approximately 29% of New Zealand's landmass and
represent a large terrestrial carbon pool. In 2002 New Zealand implemented its first …

This work investigated the effects of land cover and land-use change (LUC) on the ability of
a soil to store carbon (C) and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, in a Mediterranean …

The decomposition rate of stem and branch coarse woody debris (CWD,> 10cm in diameter)
was assessed in natural forests located in the central North Island of New Zealand. CWD …

Ireland has implemented a large afforestation program in recent decades, with much of this
taking place since the mid 1980s. This presents Ireland with the opportunity to offset carbon …

In geomorphically active landscapes such as New Zealand, quantitative data on the
relationship between erosion and soil carbon (C) are needed to establish the effect of …

Natural forest comprises approximately 78% of New Zealand's total forest area and their
dead wood carbon pools contribute to the national carbon balance reported under the …

The New Zealand Soil Carbon Monitoring System (Soil CMS) was designed, and has been
used, to account for soil organic carbon change under land-use change, during New …

Soil carbon stock change between two major land uses in New Zealand was measured by
sampling paired plots across the boundaries of low productivity grassland and forest planted …

Invasive mammalian herbivores (eg deer, feral goats and brushtail possums;
hereafter'herbivores') are widespread throughout New Zealand and their control is important …
