For her Masters thesis Nicole investigated different dryland pasture options for sheep and beef farms in New Zealand. She worked within the MaxClover Grazing Experiment at Lincoln and collected her results in the 8th year of the experiment. Measurements included yield, composition, water use and insect populations under the established pastures. Nicole was supervised by Prof. Derrick Moot.
