Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both natural forests and commercial plantations. Although L.

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Lecanosticta acicola and Dothistroma septosporum trigger similar symptoms; host responses diverge sharply: Pinus pinea mounts robust defences, P. pinaster remains vulnerable, and P. radiata sustains growth. These contrasting strategies highlight species‐specific resilience and provide key insights for sustainable forest protection.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2025.Tree canopies efficiently capture aerosols, with coastal and island environments particularly prone to much higher chloride deposition beneath vegetation compared to open sites. On Norfolk Island, enhancement ranged from 8% to 3742%, driven by canopy structure, exposure, rainfall, and wind.

Targeting Bayes factors with direct-path non-equilibrium thermodynamic integration [PDF]
, 2017 Thermodynamic integration (TI) for computing marginal likelihoods is based on an inverse annealing path from the prior to the posterior distribution. In many cases, the resulting estimator suffers from high variability, which particularly stems from the ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1133-1145, December 2025.ABSTRACT This review explores Prionoplus reticularis, an indigenous New Zealand edible insect, commonly known as the ‘Huhu grub’. With a rich history of consumption by Māori and a presence in local food festivals, Huhu grubs are gaining attention as a potential alternative protein source. Growing global populations increase the demand for nutrient‐rich

Another dimension from LiDAR – Obtaining foliage density from full waveform data [PDF]
, 2011 LiDAR tells the user where surfaces are, not what they are. In this study we investigate the potential for waveform LiDAR to provide more information on the nature of the returns over forestry. Waveform LiDAR was acquired for ten Pinus radiata plots in a

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2484-2500, December 2025.ABSTRACT In New Zealand, willow and poplar are used on hill farms for erosion control and to supplement pasture during low pasture periods. Some native shrubs are browsed by wild herbivores but remain unexplored for farmed ruminants. We evaluated the seasonal nutritional composition of five native New Zealand shrubs (Karamū, Pāpāuma, Karo, Whauwhaupaku,
