What matters most? Assessment of within-canopy factors influencing the needle microbiome of the model conifer, Pinus radiata

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
The assembly and function of the phyllosphere microbiome is important to the overall fitness of plants and, thereby, the ecosystems they inhabit. Presently, model systems for tree phyllosphere microbiome studies are lacking, yet forests resilient to ...

Molar mass determination of lignins and characterization of their polymeric structures by multi-detector gel permeation chromatography

Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2021
Molar masses, Mark-Houwink-Sakurada (MHS) exponents, and refractive index increments (dn/dc) for three lignins were determined without derivatization by multi-detector gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) with 0.05 M lithium ...

Pining away and at home: global utilisation of Pinus radiata by native and non-native insects [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2023
Pinus radiata (radiata pine or Monterey pine) is threatened in its native range in California and, at the same time, one of the most widely-planted tree species worldwide, especially in the southern hemisphere.

Plantation species-specific adjustment functions for the Forest Carbon Predictor in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2018
Background New Zealand’s planted forest area is dominated by radiata pine (90%), but also includes Douglas-fir (6%), and a range of minor species including eucalypts and cypress.

Indication of Quantitative Multiple Disease Resistance to Foliar Pathogens in Pinus radiata D.Don in New Zealand

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Increasing resistance against foliar diseases is an important goal in the Pinus radiata D.Don breeding program in New Zealand, and screening for resistance has been in place for some time, since the late 1960s.

Predicting wood density of growth increments of Douglas-fir stands in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2018
Background Douglas-fir comprises 6% of New Zealand’s planted forest area and contributes to the national carbon sequestration estimate. Carbon stock changes in Douglas-fir stem wood can be calculated by multiplying the increment in stem volume under bark
