This database contains site and soil descriptions as well as associated soil chemical, physical and mineralogical data for 912 sites in Antarctica. They were collected during 30 excursions between 1964 and 1999 by D.S.I.R. New Zealand Soil Bureau scientists Iain Campbell and Graeme Claridge. New Zealand Lottery Environment and Heritage is acknowledged for...

These data and R scripts contain information on flowering times and other plant traits for >1300 dicot species in the NZ flora, and methods for analysing flowering times while accounting for phylogenetic covariance among species.

Raw data from a pot experiment assessing the effect of soil moisture and soil nutrients on the growth of indigenous and exotic woody species common in New Zealand drylands. These data were used in the following papers: Monks A, Cieraad E, Burrows LE, Walker S 2012. Higher relative performance at low soil nitrogen and moisture predicts field distribution...

Data associated with Burrows et al. 2015. which describes a field experiment assessing the effect of common broom management practices on the germination, growth and survival of six indigenous woody species in a South Island dryland setting.

Landcare Research conducted the second Survey of Rural Decision Makers in 2015 to help build a better picture of what drives these decisions and what New Zealand’s farming environment might look like in the future. The survey covers the entire spectrum of primary industry and lifestyle farming and includes a wide variety of topics. It builds on an earlier...

Summarised data from two consecutive forest inventories of permanent sample plots located throughout New Zealand. These data are part of the Global Forest Biodiversity dataset used in the Liang et al. Positive Biodiversity--Productivity Relationship in Global Forests.

The ant distribution database is a searchable tool that contains distribution and collection records for all ant species in New Zealand (native and exotic), as well as global distribution for invasive ant species.

Previously, these small, dark, sessile, discomycete fungi have been treated as Sorokina in the New Zealand...

The Ecological Traits database began life as a repository of information for projects on New Zealand weeds, and wetland plants. It holds a list of all native and all naturalised higher plant species. Most effort to date has been on entering data on the naturalised flora and this information is updated from time to time. The web delivery of this database...
