Landcare Research Science Series

The Landcare Research Science Series publishes special reports on research done by Landcare Research.

Topics covered can be highly technical and on specific areas of research, but the results are often of interest to a wide range of New Zealanders and international readers.

From August 2004, issues in the Science Series are available for free as Adobe Acrobat PDF files, or as printed and bound copies from our bookstore Manaaki Whenua Press. Issues prior to August 2004 (Nos. 1 to 23) are only available in printed format from Manaaki Whenua Press.
