ABSTRACT Northeastern New Zealand’s sedimentary rocks and soils are particularly vulnerable to landsliding, with some of the highest specific sediment yields, globally. In addition to earthquakes, rainfall is considered an important landslide triggering process.

Hydrological controls on nutrient exportation from old-growth evergreen rainforests and Eucalyptus nitens plantation in headwater catchments at Southern Chile [PDF]
Soil cover disturbances have a direct effect on biogeochemistry, potentially enhancing nutrient loss, land degradation and associated changes in ecosystem services and livelihood support.

Are there clear benefits from diversification of land use: a review and preliminary meta‐analysis?
ABSTRACT Diversified farming systems are often considered more resilient and environmentally sustainable than monocultures. However, their performance on key environmental and economic outcomes remains poorly defined across different contexts. We reviewed the literature and examined data from 277 sites, primarily in New Zealand, regarding the merits of

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Carbon allocation dynamics one decade after afforestation with Pinus radiata D. Don and Betula alba L. under two stand densities in NW Spain [PDF]
Silvopastoral systems can contribute to the mitigation of climate change by functioning as sinks for greenhouse gases better than exclusively agricultural systems.

Significance Statement Peptidoglycan (murein) biosynthesis is involved in chloroplast division in mosses, while Arabidopsis MurE mutants are defective in chloroplast development. We have shown that the gymnosperm Picea abies expresses 11 genes of the peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway, and that P.
