These effects will be dependent on geographic location; for example, parts of New Zealand are predicted to have increased flooding, drought and wildfires, depending on the local environmental context. Effects of climate change on agricultural production will be both direct, such as crop losses due to flooding, and indirect, such as increased invasive pest insect and weed pressure on horticultural production or decline in water capture capacity in pastoral South Island High Country tussock grasslands due to increased fire frequency combined with grazing. It is crucial to understand the complex, interactive effects of climate change on agroecosystems, mediated by biodiversity, if human interventions, such as land management, are to be developed and effectively applied to mitigate negative consequences. Even better is if those interventions can be used to address the biodiversity crisis. Nature-based Solutions is a framework that offers such solutions; however, improved scientific understanding of these interacting processes within agroecosystems is required at multiple temporal and spatial scales to justify sector investment for changes in agricultural land management practices that enhance production and native biodiversity.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r Biodiversity; climate change; agroecosystems; grasslands; wildfires; invasive plants;soils; microbes; nature-based solutions; mitigation;adaptation; economic\r incentives\r """ ; dct:issued "2024-03-13T00:47:30.268683"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-13T00:47:30.268683"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Biodiversity in mediating climate change" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Using long-term experimental restoration of agroecosystems in Aotearoa New Zealand to improve implementation of Nature-based Solutions for climate change mitigation###\r \r **January 2023**\r \r **Buckley HL, Hall D, Jarvis RM, Smith V, Walker LA, Silby J, Hinchliffe G, Stanley MC, Sweeney AP, Case BS 2023.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change 5.**\r \r **ABSTRACT**\r \r Tree planting has long played a major role in the New Zealand Government’s approach to climate mitigation and is increasingly understood as important for climate adaptation. However, large-scale tree planting in Aotearoa New Zealand has been dominated by exotic species. Although there is growing public and expert support for using native species for forest revegetation in farm landscapes, there are two key barriers. First, the lack of ecological and economic data on native species performance in different environmental conditions. Second, policy and market-related mechanisms associated with carbon sequestration, such as the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme, favor the continuing use of exotic tree species, especially Pinus radiata, over native species. Consequently, there are strong incentives for exotic forests and insufficient financial support for natives, even when native forest re-establishment is often the preference of landowners, Indigenous peoples, and local communities. The AUT Living Laboratories Program is a long-term, transdisciplinary, experimental restoration research program aimed at addressing scientific, social, and economic knowledge gaps for native revegetation as a Nature-based Solution (NbS) on farmland soils. Here, we present the project design and establishment information from the three experimental restoration sites, which vary in native species composition, planting configuration, and environmental and socio-cultural context. Each site involves partnerships with Indigenous communities, specifically Ngāti Whātua  Ōrākei, Ngāti Manuhiri, and Ngāti Pāoa, to value and embed mātauranga Māori as Indigenous knowledge. Monitoring carbon sequestration along with changes in ecological functions and outcomes, including native biodiversity, will be critical to ensure that large-scale tree-planting aligns with the government’s strategies for climate change, native biodiversity, and economic prosperity.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r tree planting, experimental restoration, climate change mitigation, climate adaptation, community engagement, ecosystem function, biodiversity, native forest\r """ ; dct:issued "2024-03-13T00:27:10.524626"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-13T00:27:10.524626"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Nature-based Solutions for climate change mitigation" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###The AUT Living Laboratories project - How to learn native restoration from nature###\r \r **March 2024**\r \r Auckland University of Technology (AUT) Living Laboratories is an experimental project set up to: \r \r - investigate the factors affecting native forest restoration success on previously farmed soils; \r - develop productive partnership models for landowners aspiring to establish native forest; \r - provide educational opportunities to students to raise their awareness of climate and biodiversity issues. \r \r """ ; dct:format "PDF" ; dct:issued "2024-03-29T21:04:05.906238"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-29T21:04:05.906238"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "BRIEF: Living Laboratories" ; dcat:accessURL ; dcat:byteSize 8282335.0 ; dcat:mediaType "application/pdf" . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Online presentation from Crazy & Ambitious 4: Living Laboratories – restoring native forest and human relationships.\r \r **April 2024**\r \r Online quick-fire presentation from Crazy & Ambitious 4: Living Laboratories – restoring native forest and human relationships, with Sarah Burli, Auckland University of Technology.""" ; dct:issued "2024-08-12T04:51:07.730732"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-08-12T04:51:07.730732"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "WEBINAR: C&A4 Living laboratories" ; dcat:accessURL . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "Challenge Inventory" .
