... understanding and estimates of hydraulic properties of a coarse alluvial gravel vadose zone in New Zealand. Sandy gravel (SG) material constituted approximately 90% of the vadose zone, with the remainder comprising sand lenses and open-framework gravels. The gravel content of the SG material was approximately...

... of Australia's forests, because the former currently dominates the continent, whereas the latter is dominant in Cenozoic microfloras. Nothofagus also is prominent in temperate forests of South America and New Zealand, and in the Cenozoic history of these land-masses and Antarctica. This study measures standing...

... to be mobile and provide access to the vadose zone at a wide range of locations, rather than the usual restriction to available outcrops in cuttings or gravel pits. We describe the use of the VZS to characterize the profile of an alluvial gravel system at four locations in Canterbury, New Zealand and to carry...

However, New Zealand is a small and isolated landmass with an unique biogeographic history, and its forest cover exists within a limited range of MAT (5°–15°C). The New Zealand...
