These two research funds work with all sectors –government, science and industry while other funds contribute individual, focussed research outcomes to  mprove New Zealand’s overall knowledge of how we can do more to improve efficiency and productivity, and introduce new mitigation strategies on farm. It’s also important that all this work links closely to improving New Zealand’s GHG inventory accounting methods both on farm and nationally, as well as drawing as much as possible on international expertise and collaborations, and contributing to expanding and accelerating the global search for GHG mitigation solutions.\r\nThere are many advantages in this approach to funding. New Zealand is able to support targeted work to address both international and national priorities. For example, meeting UNFCCC requirements as well as national targets for mitigation of biological emissions.\r\nA multi-faceted approach allows New Zealand to cover a broad scope of work including the integration of agricultural mitigation research with impacts, adaptation and enhancement of forest sinks.

We demonstrated that methane emissions from sheep linearly decreased as the levels of forage rape included in the diet increased. This suggests that reductions in methane emissions observed in brassicas occur through a different mechanism to those elicited by feeding grains. Future work will focus on looking at the whole system effects of increasing the quantity of forage rape fed. We have been able to translate knowledge generated as part of our brassica studies into identifying fodder beet as a potential low GHG feed. In an initial study with sheep, feeding a diet of 90% and 10% grass resulted in a methane emission reduction of 50%.

We demonstrated that methane emissions from sheep linearly decreased as the levels of forage rape included in the diet increased. This suggests that reductions in methane emissions observed in brassicas occur through a different mechanism to those elicited by feeding grains. Future work will focus on looking at the whole system effects of increasing the quantity of forage rape fed. We have been able to translate knowledge generated as part of our brassica studies into identifying fodder beet as a potential low GHG feed. In an initial study with sheep, feeding a diet of 90% and 10% grass resulted in a methane emission reduction of 50%. We are currently following up and confirming results from this first study using a broader range of fodder beet inclusion rates. We conducted an initial assessment of the potential of near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to predict methane yields from forages fed to ruminants.

It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. Its catch-cry is to provide governments with policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive advice on physical aspects of climate change (through Working Group I), the impacts and adaptation options to climate change (through Working Group II), and technologies, costs and policy options to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions (through Working Group III). The IPCC also provides guidelines and best practice advice on preparing greenhouse gas emissions inventories through its Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.\r\nThe IPCC is an intergovernmental body and focuses on the science-policy interface, i.e. handing over scientific information so that it can underpin government decisions on how to address climate change. It is open to all member countries of the United Nations (UN) and WMO. Currently 195 countries are Members of the IPCC. Reports are written by scientists drawn from around the world based on their expertise and geographical balance.  Governments participate in the review process and the plenary Sessions, where main decisions about the IPCC work programme are taken and reports are accepted, adopted and approved.

The first steps in the research programme involve defining the upper limits of C storage in New Zealand soils and determining how close our soils are to that upper limit. This Objective seeks to address one of these first key steps, i.e. to define the upper limits of carbon storage in New Zealand agricultural soils.<br /> <span class=\"h6\"><br /> Objective 3.2</span><a title=\"Obj3.2\" name=\"Obj3.2\"></a><br /> <span class=\"h6\"><span class=\"h5\">Quantifying the carbon currently stored in New Zealand soils </span></span></p>\r\n<p><span class=\"h7\">Leader: </span>Dr Allan Hewitt (Landcare Research)<br /> <span class=\"h7\">NZAGRC funding: </span>April 2010 - June 2012</p>\r\n<p>This work complements research in Objective 3.1 and aims to determine the current status of carbon stocks in New Zealand agricultural soils.

The extremely long time frame for measurable changes in soil C stocks, its spatial and temporal variability, and the difficulty involved in measuring changes in the rate of sequestration, means that process-based dynamic models are an inescapable tool for generating insights into the drivers of soil C change. Such models are also essential to foresee what impacts strategies for changing soil C would have on emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, and on agricultural productivity.</p>\r\n<p><br /> <span class=\"h6\">Objective 3.4</span><a title=\"Obj3.4\" name=\"Obj3.4\"></a><br /> <span class=\"h6\"><span class=\"h5\">Manipulation of carbon inputs, incorporation and retention to protect and enhance soil carbon </span></span></p>\r\n<p><span class=\"h7\">Leader:</span> Dr David Whitehead (Landcare Research)<br /> <span class=\"h7\">NZAGRC funding:</span> April 2010 - June 2014</p>\r\n<p>The aim of this Objective is to use measurements and models to quantify changes in soil carbon storage following experimental manipulation that could be applied as farm management practices.

The first steps in the research programme involve defining the upper limits of C storage in New Zealand soils and determining how close our soils are to that upper limit. This Objective seeks to address one of these first key steps, i.e. to define the upper limits of carbon storage in New Zealand agricultural soils.  Objective 3.2 Quantifying the carbon currently stored in New Zealand soils \r\nLeader: Dr Allan Hewitt (Landcare Research) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2012\r\nThis work complements research in Objective 3.1 and aims to determine the current status of carbon stocks in New Zealand agricultural soils. Objectives 3.1 and 3.2 will work in tandem to contribute to the development of a robust methodology for estimating the potential of NZ agricultural soils to increase soil carbon storage.\r\n Objective 3.3 Process-based modelling of drivers of soil carbon change \r\nLeader: Professor Tony Parsons (Massey University) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014\r\nOur capacity to manipulate soil C (stocks and sequestration rates) depends on how well we understand the fundamental drivers of C supply, transformations and stability, in the whole agricultural system. The extremely long time frame for measurable changes in soil C stocks, its spatial and temporal variability, and the difficulty involved in measuring changes in the rate of sequestration, means that process-based dynamic models are an inescapable tool for generating insights into the drivers of soil C change. Such models are also essential to foresee what impacts strategies for changing soil C would have on emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, and on agricultural productivity.\r\n Objective 3.4 Manipulation of carbon inputs, incorporation and retention to protect and enhance soil carbon \r\nLeader: Dr David Whitehead (Landcare Research) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014\r\nThe aim of this Objective is to use measurements and models to quantify changes in soil carbon storage following experimental manipulation that could be applied as farm management practices. The research will move beyond quantification of the amounts of carbon in soils, to understanding the processes driving soil carbon storage in relation to farm management.\r\n Objective 3.5 Improved soil carbon measurements \r\nLeader: Professor Frank Kelliher (AgResearch) NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014\r\nThis objective\'s goal is improved methods to verify temporal changes in soil carbon (C) storage and accounting rules suitable for a national inventory of agricultural soils. Soils data in New Zealand are fragmented, geographic coverage limited and most samples have come from a depth < 0.1 m. It will be difficult to verify slow, relatively small and variable changes of C storage rate in pastoral agricultural soils.
