Modelling Silvopastoral Trees for Sediment Control in New Zealand Hill Country: Research Video
media
posted on 2024-09-18, 04:38 authored by Tom Mackay-Smith, Raphael SpiekermannIn this video, we explore the effectiveness of silvopastoral trees in reducing sediment delivery to streams. We discuss targeting tree planting based on landslide susceptibility models, focusing on water quality outcomes.
Results of this project include:
- Not only is it important to know where landslides occur, but whether these landslide delivery sediment to stream - I.e. are they are connected to streams.
- Including connectivity models dramatically increases cost-effectiveness of space-planting.
Funding
Funded by the New Zealand Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment’s Our Land and Water National Science Challenge (Toitū te Whenua, Toiora te Wai), as part of the project Silvopastoral Systems
