Journal Article
The potential for potassium chloride fertiliser applications to leach cadmium from a grazed pasture soil
Cadmium (Cd) is a biotoxic element that can enter the human food chain via plants grown in Cd-enriched soil. Chloride (Cl) can solubilise Cd in…
Guidance
Global Guidance on Environmental Life Cycle Impact Assessment Indicators 2
The Global Guidance for Life Cycle Impact Assessment Indicators 2 is aimed at life cycle assessment practitioners and method developers. It identifies the current best…
Journal Article
The mitigation of phosphorus losses from a water repellent soil used for grazed dairy farming
Soil water repellency (SWR) decreases the infiltration rate of soil, increasing the potential for surface runoff in response to rainfall (Bauters et al., 2000). The…
Method
A Heuristic Method for Determining Changes of Source Loads to Comply with Water Quality Limits in Catchments
A common land and water management task is to determine where and by how much source loadings need to change to meet water quality limits…
Journal Article
CLUES model calibration: residual analysis to investigate potential sources of model error
This paper presents the results of the latest calibrations of the CLUES model for each of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and Escherichia coli. CLUES has…
Journal Article
Evidence for the effects of land use on freshwater ecosystems in New Zealand
We used the pressure-state-impact (PSI) framework to assess evidence of land-use effects on New Zealand freshwater ecosystems. There was substantial evidence of land-use effects, particularly…
Technical Report
The Matrix of Drivers: 2019 Update
This 2019 report identifies key trends and challenges with potential to impact land use in New Zealand, prioritised by primary sector leaders, with open access…
Technical Report
Assembling indicators of market access risks for food exports
The purpose of this research was to identify and test indicators of the level of consumer interest in specific market drivers. The drivers were previously…
Presentation
Can the Integration and Implementation Science framework support better research for land and water policy?
New Zealand Freshwater Sciences Society Conference, December 2019
Journal Article
The ability to reduce soil legacy phosphorus at a country scale
The build-up of soil phosphorus (P) beyond plant requirements can lead to a long-term legacy of P losses that could impair surface water quality. Using…
Journal Article
Development and validation of a nation-scale framework to characterize the fate and transport of key agricultural contaminants
A hydrological framework encompassing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and microbial (E. coli) transfer from land to water was developed to provide a consistent and rapid…
Technical Report
Farm Soil Health: assessment across a forestry to pasture chronosequence
Ngai Tahu farming have the goal to maintain the life sustaining capacity of soils during the change from forestry (P. radiata) to pasture agriculture. Sites…
