Short-term Effects of Rabbit Grazing on a Degraded Short-tussock Grassland in Central Otago
Despite 120 years of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) control in New Zealand, there is a surprising dearth of quantitative information on the damage rabbits cause to agricultural systems and the environment. Research and debate on rabbits have traditionally centred on the various technical options available for their control, and their cost efficiency. Little attention has been paid to the env...
متن کاملVegetation changes without grazing, Flat Top Hill, Central Otago
Permanent monitoring sites in Flat Top Hill Conservation Area in Central Otago were resurveyed in the spring of 1997, following a four-year interval in which rabbit numbers had been very low, and stock absent. All study sites showed considerable vegetation change between 1993 and 1997. The most significant changes in the vegetation were large increases in overall vascular species richness and d...
متن کاملAlpine Phytomass and Primary Productivity in Central Otago, New Zealand
Phytomass was measured and net potential productivity estimated for normal climatic conditions on the Otago rainshadow mountains. Seven tall snow tussock grasslands were compared with lower-statured cushion, herbfield and short grassland communities. Total phytomass ranged from c. 5-9 Kg m (22 000-40000 Kcal m) in tall tussock and c. 2-4 Kg m (8100-16500 Kcal m) in cushion, herbfield or short g...
متن کاملGibberellin Signaling: GRASs Growing Roots Dispatch
Gibberellins are a class of terpenoid molecules that can act as plant growth regulators. This class was discovered through the investigation of sick rice plants that were infested by the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi. In 1926, Eiichi Kurosawa determined that a substance, dubbed gibberellic acid, secreted by the fungus was causing the disease. Subsequently, it was realized that gibberellic acid is...
