Assessing the sustainability of management practices for planted forests across an environmental gradient in New Zealand

Creator:

Kiyvyra, Alicia L.

Abstract:

Sustainable management of planted forests requires maintenance of soil function to promote 1) root growth; 2) storage and cycling of water and nutrients; 3) optimal gas exchange; and 4) biological activity. Soil quality measurements can be used to monitor short- and long-term changes in these soil functions, allowing managers to...

An Investigation into the Distribution, Residency Patterns, Population Connectivity, and Abundance of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in New Zealand

Creator:

Barlow, Dawn R.

Abstract:

Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations. I describe a pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) population in New Zealand waters with year-round presence that overlaps with industrial activities. This...
