Quantifying the economic cost of invertebrate pests to New Zealand’s pastoral industry

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 255-315, September 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT The invertebrate pests most commonly affecting New Zealand’s pastoral‐based production in ‘average’ years cause losses of between $1.7B and $2.3B p.a. of which up to $0.9B occur on sheep and beef farms and $1.4B on dairy farms. The native scarab grass grub is the most costly pest causing losses of $140–380 M on dairy farms and $75–205 M on ...

Functional Traits Mediate Physico‐Chemical Niche Differentiation of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes in Temperate Forests

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host tree identity drives bark physico‐chemical filters (e.g., pH, metals) that shape epiphytic communities. We show that species‐specific functional traits, such as lichen substances and bryophyte growth forms, mediate these responses. Lichen metal homeostasis and bryophyte growth habit create distinct species thresholds and community change points ...

Differential Effects of Lichens versus Liverworts Epiphylls on Host Leaf Traits in the Tropical Montane Rainforest, Hainan Island, China

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Epiphylls widely colonize vascular leaves in moist tropical forests. Understanding the effects of epiphylls on leaf traits of host plants is critical for understanding ecological function of epiphylls. A study was conducted in a rain forest to investigate leaf traits of the host plants Photinia prunifolia colonized with epiphyllous liverworts and ...

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Pasture productivity in New Zealand 1990–2020: trends, expectations, and key factors

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1221-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pasture productivity gains are critical for maintaining global competitiveness of New Zealand’s $38 billion p.a. animal product export industries. This review reveals that gains in pasture eaten on dairy farms declined sharply after ∼ 2001/02, from +1.48% yr−1 to +0.26% yr−1 despite continued increases in nitrogen (N) fertiliser use, stocking ...

Narrow‐leaved plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.): A review of research on forage management within temperate grazing systems

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 41-56, March 2025.
Forage plantain is increasingly valuable in New Zealand's grazing systems. This review summarises agronomic use, including productivity, feed quality, weed management and grazing management. Agronomic advantages include seasonal growth complementarity, drought resilience and feed quality. Future research should include persistence in grass‐based swards,

Epichloë fungal endophytes – a vital component for perennial ryegrass survival in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 451-468, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Pastoral agriculture underpins the New Zealand economy. Its success in generating export income is due to a mild and moist temperate climate, productive soils, innovative farmers supported by an effective research and development system, and an energy efficient production system based on year‐round grazing.
