An integrated catchment management project was established at the Whatawhata Research Centre in the late 1990s to study the implications of land use and management change for a typical New Zealand hill country pastoral farm system. The main changes implemented on the 296 ha Mangaotama block in 2001–2002 included production forest plantation (147 ha), indigenous riparian planting (8 ha); intensification of livestock enterprises and spaced-tree planting. The purpose of this study was to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance for the catchment farm, incorporating recent measurement and modelling over a 100-year period (excl. soil carbon).
