Genomic selection for non-key traits in radiata pine when the documented pedigree is corrected using DNA marker information

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Non-key traits (NKTs) in radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) refer to traits other than growth, wood density and stiffness, but still of interest to breeders.

Natural forests in New Zealand – a large terrestrial carbon pool in a national state of equilibrium

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background Natural forests cover approximately 29% of New Zealand’s landmass and represent a large terrestrial carbon pool. In 2002 New Zealand implemented its first representative plot-based natural forest inventory to assess carbon stocks and stock ...

Methane cycling in temperate forests

Carbon Balance and Management
Temperate forest soils are considered significant methane (CH4) sinks, but other methane sources and sinks within these forests, such as trees, litter, deadwood, and the production of volatile organic compounds are not well understood.
