Combined impacts from heavy rainfall, soil erosion, drought, fire and pest incursions are projected to increase risks to the permanence of carbon offset and removal strategies in New Zealand for meeting its climate change targets . Effective management of the interactions between mitigation and adaptation policies can be achieved through governance and institutions, including Maori tribal organisations and sectoral adaptation, to ensure effective and continued carbon sequestration and storage as the climate changes    . The productivity of radiata pine  in New Zealand due to higher CO2 is projected to increase by 19% by 2040 and 37% by 2090, but greater wind damage to trees is expected . Changes in the distribution of existing weeds, pests and diseases with potential establishment of new sub-tropical pests and seasonal invasions are projected . Increased pathogens such as pitch canker, red needle cast and North American bark beetles could damage plantations .
