Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus): native taonga (treasure) or environmental weed?
ABSTRACT Karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus J.R. Forst. & G. Forst.) is an endemic New Zealand tree species that attracts polarising views and controversy. Prior to the arrival of humans in New Zealand, karaka was probably restricted to warmer areas of the northern North Island, but it now occurs throughout much of New Zealand, including on Rēkohu/Chatham

ABSTRACT Few people walking along Queen Street in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, realise they are treading above Wai‐Horotiu, a historically significant stream now buried beneath the urban landscape. In this paper, I examine how Wai‐Horotiu, once vital to the socio‐cultural and ecological well‐being of mana whenua, was systematically canalised, polluted ...

ABSTRACT Aim Progress has been made in understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) in both experimental and real‐world ecosystems. Yet, we have a limited understanding of the extent to which biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning in heterogeneous environments and whether variation in ecosystem functioning ...

Haptoglobin concentrations in cows with history of natural bracken fern chronic ingestion [PDF]
: Bracken ferns (Pteridium spp.) have been associated with intoxication in cattle and is the cause of bovine enzootic hematuria (BEH) characterized by intermittent hematuria, anemia, and poor body condition.

Abstract Premise Humans have used fire to manage landscapes for millennia, but this use of fire is declining in many ecosystems. Understanding how plants respond to these changes is key to predicting ecosystem resilience and impacts on services such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration. However, many ecosystems lack data on plant fire responses.

Interacting effects of invasion and soil microbes on Douglas‐fir seedling response to drought
Abstract Global change is affecting native species and communities through multiple anthropogenic drivers which likely interact, complicating our ability to predict the net effects of global change. In the Pacific Northwest region (USA), Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link (Scotch broom) invasion has dramatically altered many ecosystems, including postharvest ...
