Evaluating pasture forage plant breeding achievements: a review
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1146-1220, December 2025.ABSTRACT Forage plant breeding aims to deliver cultivars that increase on‐farm productivity through improved seasonal and annual yield, persistence of yield in perennials, and nutritive and feeding value. Breeding is generally undertaken in highly controlled field trials with individual plants or rows.

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 ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Pulses of resource availability along environmental gradients can filter the local and regional distribution of macrophyte and microbial mat communities in wetlands. Wetlands that experience short hydroperiods (i.e., <6 months with standing water) may cause macrophyte and microbial mat competition for water.
