Agrivoltaics: Integrating Solar Energy Generation with Livestock Farming in the Canterbury Region of Aotearoa New Zealand (pre-print)
Agrivoltaics is the integration of agriculture and solar energy production and seeks to find synergies between the two to create a complementary system. With increased…

Draft genome sequences of Escherichia spp. isolates from New Zealand environmental sources
Escherichia coli is often used as a fecal indicator bacterium for water quality monitoring. We report the draft genome sequences of 500 Escherichia isolates including newly described Escherichia species, namely Escherichia…
Journal Article
Monitoring to detect changes in water quality to meet policy objectives
Detecting change in water quality is key to providing evidence of progress towards meeting water quality objectives. A key measure for detecting change is statistical…
Journal Article
TICI: a taxon-independent community index for eDNA-based ecological health assessment
Global biodiversity is declining at an ever-increasing rate. Yet effective policies to mitigate or reverse these declines require ecosystem condition data that are rarely available.…
Journal Article
A review of the development and implementation of the critical source area concept: A reflection of Andrew Sharpley’s role in improving water quality
Critical source areas (CSAs) are small areas of a field, farm, or catchment that account for most contaminant loss by having both a high contaminant…
Journal Article
Trusted storytellers as freshwater restoration knowledge brokers: individual and collective voices can both be effective
Aotearoa New Zealand's aquatic ecosystems are declining despite widespread awareness of mitigation needs. This study employs storytelling to address this issue, testing the role of…
Journal Article
Understanding signals influencing on-farm change
We developed a framework to identify external off-farm signals from farmers' operating environment and internal on-farm signals that provide information about the farming system. We…
Journal Article
High-resolution genomic analysis to investigate the impact of the invasive brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) and other wildlife on microbial water quality assessments
Escherichia coli are routine indicators of fecal contamination in water quality assessments. Contrary to livestock and human activities, brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), common invasive marsupials in…

An integrative approach to silvopastoral system design: perspectives, potentials and principles
Silvopastoral systems have complex impacts on a diverse range of outcomes, making it essential to design these systems using an integrative approach to maximise positive…
