CenW is a generic growth and ecosystem gas exchange model that simulates photosynthetic carbon gain, water use and nitrogen cycling through plants and soil organic matter. The photosynthetic modelling uses a simple, yet physiologically based, description of photosynthesis together with simple assumptions about light interception. With appropriate...

Changes in NZ Garden Bird counts for 14 common garden birds at the national, regional and territorial authority (district) scales for the last 10 years (2008 to 2018) and last 5 years (2013 to 2018). Spatial boundaries are defined by the Statistics NZ 2018 high definition meshblock spatial layer. Citation: MacLeod CJ, Howard S, Gormley AM, Spurr EB. 2019....

Maintained by Adrian Monks Landcare Research, New Zealand. monksa@landcareresearch.co.nz Background These data consist of a series of simulated seedfall datasets used in Monks, Monks & Tanentzap (2016). Resource limitation underlying multiple masting models makes mast seeding insensitive to future climate change. New Phytologist). doi: 10.1111/nph.13817

This data set provides a spatial output from the Biodiverse analysis of NZ vascular flora undertaken and described by Millar Timothy R., Heenan Peter B., Wilton Aaron D., Smissen Rob D., Breitwieser Ilse (2017) Spatial distribution of species, genus and phylogenetic endemism in the vascular flora of New Zealand, and implications for conservation....

Colour icons for some common NZ garden birds without background circles. These icons were designed by Fabiola C. Rodríguez Estrada (http://wl-links.com.mx/) for the NZ Garden Bird Survey as part of the 'Building Trustworthy Biodiversity Indicators' project funded by the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment.

R and Python code to generate fuzzy alpha-shapes that can be used to map uncertain spatial objects from point samples

Data associated with the Burge et al 2020 manuscript published in Freshwater Biology. Please cite this dataset and the publication if it is being used. It includes data on plant relative abundance, plant tissue nutrients, plant biomass, and metadata, associated with an experimental fertilisation experiment that took place in a wetland in New Zealand....

Changes in NZ Garden Bird counts for 14 common garden birds at the national and regional scales for the period 2007 to 2017.

Supporting files for the manuscript Revisiting the bicontinental allopolyploid origin of Australasian Lepidium species with amplicon sequencing of 15 nuclear genes.

Individual maps for each species in each region showing percent change in garden bird counts for two periods: last 10 years (2008-18) and last 5 years (2013-18). Maps show territorial authority (district) estimates (with labels) for regions with more than one district, for other regions the urban rural area estimates are mapped (without labels). Citation:...

These data were compiled and published in Burge et al (2020) that describes vegetation succession over time in Arthur's Pass, New Zealand. The data include relative frequency vegetation data for four surveys (1932, 1965, 2001, 2018), vegetation trait data, pollen counts, pollen growth forms, and site metadata. The data included in this dataset are...

We investigated and analysed the causes of differences between next-generation sequencing metabarcoding approaches and traditional DNA cloning in the detection and quantification of recognized species of rust fungi from environmental samples. The data support this article: Makiola A, Dickie IA, Holdaway RJ, Wood JR, Orwin KH, Lee CK, Glare TR. 2018....

Changes in NZ Garden Bird counts for 14 common garden birds at the national, regional and urban area (towns and rural areas) scales for the period 2007 to 2017. Spatial boundaries are defined by Statistics NZ spatial layers.

To evaluate how well species-environment models perform in different situations, modellers need the ability to generate virtual niches that have known properties. These virtual niches can then form the basis of virtual ecology experiments that can test how well different models perform under different conditions. virtualNicheR is an R package that is...

Fungal ITS and 18S metabarcoding data associated with Lophomyrtus bullata, and associated code used to process and analyse the data. This relates to the paper The mycorrhizal communities of Lophomyrtus bullata Burret (Myrtaceae) within three natural forest associations of New Zealand, by Marley Ford, Mahajabeen Padamsee, Luitgard Schwendenmann, Andrew...
