a survey of the antibacterial activity of some new zealand honeys.	to assess the variation in antibacterial activity of honey a survey was carried out on 345 samples of unpasteurized honey obtained from commercial apiarists throughout new zealand. most of the honeys were considered to be monofloral, from 26 different floral sources. the honeys were tested against staphylococcus aureus in an agar well diffusion assay, with reference to phenol as a standard. antibacterial activity was found to range from the equivalent of less than 2% (w/v) phenol to 58% (w/v) ph ...	1991	1687577
stomatal and non-stomatal limitations to photosynthesis in four tree species in a temperate rainforest dominated by dacrydium cupressinum in new zealand.	we assessed the relative limitations to photosynthesis imposed by stomatal and non-stomatal processes in dacrydium cupressinum lamb. (podocarpaceae), which is the dominant species in a native, mixed conifer-broad-leaved rainforest in new zealand. for comparison, we included three co-occurring broad-leaved tree species (meterosideros umbellata cav. (myrtaceae), weinmannia racemosa l.f. (cunoniaceae) and quintinia acutifolia kirk (escalloniaceae)) that differ in phylogeny and in leaf morphology fr ...	2005	15687093
