Marine Biodiversity of Aotearoa New Zealand
The marine-biodiversity assessment of New Zealand (Aotearoa as known to Māori) is confined to the 200 nautical-mile boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone, which, at 4.2 million km(2), is one of the largest in the world. It spans 30 degrees of latitude and includes a high diversity of seafloor relief, including a trench 10 km deep. Much of this region remains unexplored biologically, especiall...
متن کاملLarge-scale biodiversity patterns in freshwater phytoplankton.
Our planet shows striking gradients in the species richness of plants and animals, from high biodiversity in the tropics to low biodiversity in polar and high-mountain regions. Recently, similar patterns have been described for some groups of microorganisms, but the large-scale biogeographical distribution of freshwater phytoplankton diversity is still largely unknown. We examined the species d...
متن کاملTurnover diversity drives large-scale biodiversity patterns
Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract Understanding biodiversity patterns and how they are driven at different spatial scales is a crucial issue in ecological studies. This is particularly evident for the deep sea, the largest biome of the biosphere...
متن کاملRiver Water Quality in New Zealand: an Introduction and Overview
Robert J. Davies-Colley National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), PO Box 11-115, Hillcrest, Hamilton, New Zealand. ABSTRACT: River water quality is important to uses and values within rivers and also in water bodies downstream. Water quality here encompasses: the physico-chemical attributes important to aquatic life and that vary diurnally (e.g. dissolved oxygen, temperature)...
متن کاملDTM and interpolations in GRASS: application to a braided river
The present work deals with the problems related to the generation of Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of braided rivers by means of the open source GIS GRASS. In particular, we investigated how to optimize the terrain survey, that is how to reduce the density of topographic points that we have to survey and which is their best distribution, related to the employed interpolation method and with resp...
