We are very proud to announce the publication of the article titled "Physiographic Environment Classification: a Controlling Factor Classification of Landscape Susceptibility to Waterborne Contaminant Loss" into the Environmental Management journal.
You will often hear us talking about the significant influence that landscape settings have on water quality outcomes. This paper reveals that on average the landscape has 2x the influence on the spatial variability of the type and severity of water quality outcomes compared to land use across NZ!
This article is the culmination of an immense amount of research and work - congratulations to Clint and Lisa from the Land & Water Science team for their efforts!
