By introducing species having novel traits, such as relatively rapid growth, many afforestation efforts also produce numerous changes in ecosystems, at the landscape scale.\r \r Trees are considered critical for climate change mitigation; indeed, many current carbon sequestration strategies rely on trees. Planting trees or allowing trees to naturally colonize through range expansions can be seen as an ideal way to increase atmospheric carbon capture. For example, a snapshot approach may show that introducing trees into treeless ecosystems enhances aboveground accumulation of carbon, helping increase ecosystem carbon storage.\r \r However, considering other impacts such as reductions in soil carbon or albedo and increased fire severity (through increases in fuel loads and connectivity) reduces the effectiveness of afforestation strategies for climate change amelioration. Additional negative impacts of afforestation are also likely, such as the reduction of native biodiversity and productivity, substantial water yield losses, and changes in nutrient cycles, which can exacerbate other global change drivers. Further, tree invasions originating from afforestation can exacerbate these negative impacts.\r \r *Synthesis*. This review highlights that the positive and negative impacts of planting trees in naturally treeless ecosystems as a strategy to mitigate climate change are idiosyncratic, depending on the location where trees are introduced, the time period trees are allowed to grow, and risks of spread and impacts associated with specific tree species. Although planting trees can potentially be a tool to fight climate change, a greater consideration of their impacts is required to minimize the unexpected negative consequences of afforestation efforts.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r afforestation; carbon certification; carbon sequestration; global change ecology; invasive woody plants; natural climate solution; plant-climate interactions""" ; dct:issued "2024-07-29T23:44:39.601729"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-29T23:44:39.601729"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Unintended consequences of planting in treeless ecosystems" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###SO3: We anticipate both emerging and latent biosecurity risks and avoid new or recurring invasions###\r \r **November 2019**\r \r **Tait A, Stanley MC, Percy H, Bassett I, Marsh A, Teulon D, Badland S, Dyck M, Reed C, Garvey PM 2019.

Weaknesses are linked to governance of the Challenge which had substantive ramifications for its organisational capacity to undertake the co-design process and how it did so. While the Challenge was committed to taking a collaborative and strategic path to establish the foundations of its Strategy 2019-2014, it was doing so in the midst of unrealistic expectations about what it actually takes to meaningfully, respectfully and effectively do codesign and the flexibility required to shore up both internal and external credibility and legitimacy for the process, its inputs and outputs. \r \r This research raises important questions about the consequences of research policy reforms that are changing the rules of the game but not the governance structures that directly shape how, when, where and why co-design (and co-creation) are done.

We present attributes of 84 projects meeting this definition, including three lacustrine islands, 16 marine islands, seven ring-fenced ecosanctuaries, seven peninsula-fenced ecosanctuaries and 51 unfenced mainland ecosanctuaries. Ecosanctuaries have biological and social objectives, and some have returned threatened, previously extirpated taxa to the New Zealand mainland. Increasingly, these intensively managed sites are being embedded in human-altered landscapes with low levels of pest control – a ‘core and buffer’ system. Most community groups that establish ecosanctuaries lack the technical expertise, resources and mandate to undertake regional or national prioritisation. There is a strong need for agency leadership of this, and to develop best practice pest control, pest monitoring and biodiversity outcome monitoring tools, as goals for national restoration of biodiversity rapidly expand.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r New Zealand ecosanctuaries; sanctuaries; ecosanctuary origins; biodiversity outcomes; pest-fences; pest control; stoats; ship rats; brushtail possums""" ; dct:issued "2024-07-31T00:26:33.689346"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-31T00:26:33.689346"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: NZ ecosanctuaries: types, attributes and outcomes" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description "A one page summary of a report on a survey of Crown policies, programmes, legislation, funding, and impact assessment relating to mātauranga Māori." ; dct:format "PDF" ; dct:issued "2024-07-21T22:11:15.366455"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-21T22:11:15.366455"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "SUMMARY: When the Crown Controls Mātauranga" ; dcat:accessURL ; dcat:byteSize 2012341.0 ; dcat:mediaType "application/pdf" . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Biological Heritage Submission to Te Ara Paerangi Future Pathways Green Paper ###\r \r **March 2022**\r \r **ABSTRACT**\r \r This document provides the New Zealand Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, Ngā Koiora Tuku Iho (BioHeritage Challenge), collective Challenge response to the Te Ara Paerangi Future Pathways Green Paper (Green Paper). \r \r Operational/guidance document.""" ; dct:format "PDF" ; dct:issued "2024-07-19T03:19:20.327679"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-19T03:19:20.327679"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "SUMMARY: BioHeritage submission for Te Ara Paerangi " ; dcat:accessURL ; dcat:byteSize 353123.0 ; dcat:mediaType "application/pdf" . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """**June 2023**\r \r It's been 11 years since the release of Ko Aotearoa Tēnei – a Waitangi Tribunal report into the Wai 262 claim concerning laws and policies that adversely affected Māori culture and identity.

Ecosphere 10(10): e02899.**\r \r **Abstract**\r There is a growing need for collaborative and interdisciplinary research in addressing global ecological challenges, and early career researchers (ECRs) often play a vital role in such ventures. But despite the desire for such approaches, forming new and interdisciplinary collaborations is risky, and disproportionately so for ECRs, whose perspectives on this topic are rarely heard. Here, we present common perceptions among ECRs regarding opportunities for intra- and interdisciplinary collaboration, and barriers preventing such collaboration from taking place. We also discuss possible solutions, and the ecological outcomes of fostering more collaboration. The perceptions discussed have been distilled from a two-day workshop in New Zealand, aiming to investigate the potential for collaboration between 34 ECRs in distinct ecological disciplines across ten research institutes. Commonality in methodology or research aims was vital for potential collaborations to be considered worthwhile, but differences in spatial or temporal scales were a key disconnect that hindered numerous potential crossovers. Individual connectivity and institutional structures were commonly perceived as barriers to acting collaboratively in general. Specifically, barriers included having a small peer network, lack of access to funding, and concerns over the risk/reward ratio of forming new collaborations. Overcoming barriers will require active, practical support from institutions, funding bodies and mentors, and participants commonly called for specific funding support and the creation of ECR-focused spaces to better foster collaborative behavior. Fostering interdisciplinary ECR collaborations in ecology was perceived to be useful in creating larger and more useful datasets and tools, and more scalable and transferable models and outcomes. Adopting practices that facilitate more ECR-led interdisciplinary collaboration will help generate a more integrative understanding of ecological systems globally.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r collaboration; early career; interdisciplinary; networking; New Zealand; research; workshop""" ; dct:issued "2024-01-09T03:02:05.885524"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-01-09T03:02:05.885524"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: An early career perspective " ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###SO6 - We quantify social ecological linkages for use in managing, protecting and restoring ecosystems###\r \r **November 2019**\r \r **Tylianakis JM, MacIntosh A, Jackson AM, Shanahan DF, Clapcott J, Lyver PO, Cullen R, Sevicke-Jones G, Holborow J, Wilson K and others 2019.

However, climate change will alter rainfall patterns, increase the incidence and severity of extreme events, and gradually increase temperatures which will all modify terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems. Our comprehensive review of reported climate change impacts in New Zealand indicates that most measured impacts to date are due to indirect impacts (such as exacerbation of invasive species impacts) and most are in the marine realm. Ocean acidification and marine heatwaves are particularly problematic for calcareous organisms and algae respectively. Other notable impacts include thermal squeeze in the alpine zone and impacts of drought on freshwater fish. Very small populations of rare and threatened species can be very vulnerable to extreme events (e.g. fire, floods). While the evidence for climate change impacts is sparse in some regions and for some ecosystems, we encourage ongoing monitoring to identify processes of decline that may need to be mitigated. We identify five key research needs to improve our understanding of the threat of climate change to the biodiversity of Aotearoa New Zealand.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r biodiversity, extreme events, global change, global warming, invasive species, ocean acidification, sea level rise\r """ ; dct:issued "2024-07-30T02:21:40.781308"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-30T02:21:40.781308"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Climate change impact on NZ biological heritage" ; dcat:accessURL . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "Challenge Inventory" .
