This aligned with experience elsewhere, most notably in Australia.91 New Zealand scientists relied on US examples of soil erosion science, as well as ecological and aesthetic arguments tailored to images of New Zealand’s growing national identity: these influences, added to the background of a new generation of scientists with a strong grounding in soil sciences and ecology, contributed to the shift away from climatic arguments.	cache/hom-33.pdf	txt/hom-33.txt
