Seagrass flowering underpins seed‐based restoration and is governed by the interaction of multiple abiotic and biotic drivers operating across a range of temporal and spatial scales. In New Zealand/Aotearoa, flowering was historically considered rare, but emerging evidence indicates it is more widespread than previously recognised, creating new opportunities for restoration. We conducted a 4‐year study from 2022 to 2025 across...
Site and Season Influence the Success of Seagrass Transplantation in Aotearoa New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Seagrasses are important ecosystem engineers that create nursery habitat for fish, support high biodiversity, enhance water quality and store carbon. However, seagrasses are declining globally, including in many places in New Zealand. One approach to counter these losses is shoot‐based seagrass restoration, which involves transplanting adult seagrass plants together with their surrounding sediment and associated communities. W...
Experimental assessment of growing substrates for the early life stages of five large brown seaweedsNARA Subscribed
Seaweed cultivation, especially for large brown algae (LBA; e.g. Laminariales, Fucales) is in development in many regions worldwide. Identifying appropriate growing substrates is a key step for establishing successful seaweed cultivation. We investigated the effects of four substrates with aquaculture and restoration potential on the density and length of recruits of five LBA in a series of 42‐day‐long experiments. The substra...
Halifax Harbour, a major seaport in Nova Scotia that is approximately 100 km southeast of the Bay of Fundy, comprises a deep inner region called Bedford Basin, connected to the adjacent ocean by a shallow channel called The Narrows. A study of sea level and currents reveals the presence of episodic oscillations in The Narrows, with a period of approximately 2 h. The oscillation strength varies from day to day and, to some exte...
The purpose of this study is to obtain estimates of ground surface rupture and ground motion hazards at standardised scales useful for general reference and regional comparisons of dams (n = 548) registered with the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD). Geospatial and statistical methods are used to investigate the exposure of dams to seismic hazard from 409 faults in the Geoscience Australia Neotectonic Featur...
An R package named argoFloats has been developed to facilitate identifying, downloading, caching, and analyzing oceanographic data collected by Argo profiling floats. The analysis phase benefits from close connections between argoFloats and the oce package, which is likely to be familiar to those who already use R for the analysis of oceanographic data of other kinds. This paper outlines how to use argoFloats to accomplish som...
Te Awa o te Atua, known today as the Tarawera River, lies in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand. Despite its immense importance to iwi, it has been subject to intense anthropogenic pressures and modification over the past century. Ngāti Rangitihi, one iwi kaitiaki of the river, wanted to understand how the mauri of Te Awa o te Atua has been impacted, with the ultimate aim of revitalising the mauri. Drawing from mātau...
Horizon scanning for invasive alien species with the potential to threaten biodiversity in Great BritainNARA Subscribed
Invasive alien species ( IAS ) are considered one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, particularly through their interactions with other drivers of change. Horizon scanning, the systematic examination of future potential threats and opportunities, leading to prioritization of IAS threats is seen as an essential component of IAS management. Our aim was to consider IAS that were likely to impact on native biodiversity but w...
