Abstract With increasing urbanisation, there is a growing disconnect between soil, food, and people, centred around those relying on Western food production models. This ‘wicked’ problem challenging sustainable soil use insecurity. Knowledge of soils through scientific studies alone are unable to address this problem, we need extend the boundaries science for real progress be made. We present conceptual framework understanding reciprocal connections people in local systems Aotearoa New...
Abstract. Addressing the complex challenges of soil and food security at international local scales requires moving beyond boundaries individual disciplines knowledge systems. The value transdisciplinary research approaches is increasingly recognised, including those that incorporate Indigenous systems holders. Using a case study Pōhatu, Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper demonstrates approach to explore past Māori landscapes contribute contemporary health sovereignty aspirations. Engaging...
Abstract We describe a novel suction plate experiment that uses large, repacked soil cores comprising clasts and fine‐textured matrix to accurately measure the water retention curve of rock fragments (RFs) high low porosity. The method incorporates plate‐core containment system can be weighed as unit, overcome typical core size restrictions. relies on analysing relationship between total volumetric content RF concentration. Cores are packed with mix glass RFs maintain uniform clast...
