Bats are killed by rats, cats, stoats, and possums, and populations are declining in areas where these predators are not controlled.

The yield tables are a representation of forest yield in cubic metres per hectare (m 3 /ha). New Zealand’s traditional trading partners in Europe and North America are likely to remain important sources of imports, even though their relative share may decrease, and Australia is likely to remain a key source of imports owing to its physical proximity. 0000009648 00000 n A Guidance Manual for Local Government in New ZealandModelling the influence of predicted future climate change on the risk of wind damage within New Zealand’s planted forestsTransient model scenarios of climate changes for New ZealandFunctional responses of plants to elevated atmospheric COA globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systemsChanges in planted forests and future global implicationsUsing analogous climates and global insect distribution data to identify potential sources of new invasive insect pests in New ZealandDriving forces of global wildfires over the past millennium and the forthcoming centuryPhytophthora pluvialis, a new species from mixed tanoak-Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon, USAForest productivity under environmental change – a review of stand-scale modeling studiesAre forest disturbances amplifying or canceling out climate change-induced productivity changes in European forests?Threats to New Zealand’s indigenous forests from exotic pathogens and pestsModelling the effects of climate change on the potential feeding activity of Global warming under old and new scenarios using IPCC climate sensitivity range estimatesImplications of atmospheric CO2 enrichment and climatic change for the geographical distribution of two introduced vines in the USAIncreasing forest disturbances in Europe and their impact on carbon storageClimate change implications in the northern coastal temperate rainforest of North AmericaDoes elevated temperature and doubled CO2 increase growth of three potentially invasive plants?Verification of WRF modelled fire weather in the 2009–10 New Zealand fire seasonAn inventory-based analysis of Canada’s managed forest carbon dynamics, 1990 to 2008Future projections of growing degree days and frost in New Zealand and some implications for grape growingThin plate smoothing interpolation of daily rainfall for New Zealand using a climatological rainfall surfaceInterpolation of daily solar radiation for New Zealand using a satellite derived cloud cover surfaceThe accidental introduction of invasive animals as hitchhikers through inanimate pathways: a New Zealand perspectiveGrowth of planted pine trees in response to variation in the densities of naturally regenerated acaciasAlien species in a warmer world: risks and opportunitiesUsing species niche models to inform strategic management of weeds in a changing climatePredicting the severity of Dothistroma needle blight on Predicting the severity of Cyclanuesma needle cast on Evidence and implications of recent and projected climate change in Alaska’s forest ecosystemsEstablishment of Melaleuca quinquenervia seedlings in the pine-cypress ecotone of southwest FloridaClimate for crops: integrating climate data with information about soils and crop requirements to reduce risks in agricultural decision-makingHandbook on Climate Change and Agroecosystems: Impacts, Adaptation, and MitigationH. Although New Zealand does not currently have any damaging forest insect species, population levels and resulting damage are likely to increase in the future as warmer temperatures accelerate insect development and increase the susceptibility of host plants to attack.

New Zealand-specific import data were obtained from Since the 1980s, imports have increased from the established trading countries of Australia, Europe, US and Japan. Hofstetter (eds). Temperature influences thresholds for pest growth and survival through events such as frost frequency and the requirement for reproduction as determined through accumulation of thermal units.
