So, more than 75 species of beautiful native trees at big tree stage to enhance your landscape spaces, because…if you need instant impact, life’s too short to wait for small plants to become specimen trees. takana has a policy of stocking all the native trees which will grow in the North (i.e. from Waikato/Bay of Plenty north). takana grows more than 75 species, as well as intra-species variations. Half of these species are not commonly available from NZ nurserymen, but all have their own beauty and place within our unique ecology. And surprisingly, many of us have little or no knowledge of these – how they grow and what conditions they suit. Please Note: I. All prices are exclusive of GST and are subject to change without prior notice. II. Generally the minimum height of our 25L bags will be 1.0m of our 35L bags 1.5m of our 45L bags 2.0m of our 160L bags 3.0m III. Field trees…etc …at $200 per metre of height IV.

Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

Composition, structure and restoration potential of riparian forest remnants, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Research) in Ecology and Biodiversity [Faculty of Science & Engineering] at The University of Waikato by Moari Denise West 2021 Abstract Extensive modification of riparian zones across the globe has seen a reduction in the important functions and services provided by the vegetation. Maintaining water quality, sediment control, nutrient cycling, habitat provision, climate change mitigation, and increased biodiversity value are a few of the services provided by riparian vegetation. Within New Zealand, approximately 16,000 ha of native forest has been cleared in recent times. This forest loss, compounded by historical forest loss over the previous seven centuries (14 million ha as of 2002), alongside the important services, gives native forests occurring within riparian zones increased value.

  • The Island Rule and Its Application to Multiple Plant Traits
    The island rule and its application to multiple plant traits Annemieke Lona Hedi Hendriks A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 2019 ii “The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder” Ralph W. Sockman. iii iv General Abstract Aim The Island Rule refers to a continuum of body size changes where large mainland species evolve to become smaller and small species evolve to become larger on islands. Previous work focuses almost solely on animals, with virtually no previous tests of its predictions on plants. I tested for (1) reduced floral size diversity on islands, a logical corollary of the island rule and (2) evidence of the Island Rule in plant stature, leaf size and petiole length. Location Small islands surrounding New Zealand; Antipodes, Auckland, Bounty, Campbell, Chatham, Kermadec, Lord Howe, Macquarie, Norfolk, Snares, Stewart and the Three Kings. Methods I compared the morphology of 65 island endemics and their closest ‘mainland’ relative. Species pairs were identified. Differences between archipelagos located at various latitudes were also assessed. Results Floral sizes were reduced on islands relative to the ‘mainland’, consistent with predictions of the Island Rule. Plant stature, leaf size and petiole length conformed to the Island Rule, with smaller plants increasing in size, and larger plants decreasing in size. Main conclusions Results indicate that the conceptual umbrella of the Island Rule can be expanded to plants, accelerating understanding of how plant traits evolve on isolated islands.

  • Sam Foster (Hamilton City Council) From: Gerry Kessels & Hamish Dean 4 October 2013 Revised Assessment of SNA 38 – Caldwel

This memo outlines the results of our survey and provides recommendations for changes based on the survey. Photos of the site are presented in Attachment One. Vegetation Description The vegetation comprises a forest of planted native trees reaching between 10m and 15m in height. The stand is between about 50 and 75 years old. A range of podocarp and broadleaf species are present including totara, kahikatea, rimu, karaka, kowhai, rewarewa, kauri, titoki, and silver beech. Canopy trees appear healthy except for one kahikatea which has some canopy dieback. The understorey is relatively open but there is evidence of natural regeneration. Understorey species include planted tawa and miro, along with naturally regenerating kawakawa, karaka, mahoe, ponga, and houhere. Karaka seedlings are common in the groundcover and are very dense in places. Titoki and kahikatea were also noted in the seedling tier. Pest plants were sparse except at the eastern end where English ivy is common. Ivy is sparsely scattered elsewhere and occasional tree privet and Chinese privet were observed on the margins.

  • Arillate Seeds, with Special Reference to Titoki (Alectryon Excelsus Gaernt
    Arillate seeds, with special reference to titoki (Alectryon excelsus Gaernt. (Sapindaceae)) H.A. Outred Institute of Molecular Biosciences, Massey University, Private Bag 11-222, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Abstract Titoki (Alectryon excels us Gaemt. (Sapindaceae)) is an endemic tree species of tropical affinity, up to 1Om tall, common in New Zealand lowland forests. Development of the fruit/seed takes 12-14 months, with flowering between October-December and fruiting from October-March of the following year. The fruits are hard capsules up to 12mm, which split at maturity to reveal a lustrous black seed, a striking aspect of which is investment of the lower half by a scarlet vascularised aril with a firm texture and a surface of small tesselated lobes. The possession of an aril has been variously linked to sub-tropicalftropical rain forest species with large, non-dormant seeds, where the aril has been suggested to act either in a protective water-conserving capacity for the seed or to serve to attract animal dispersers. In Alectryon species also, the aril has been suggested to play a role in the splitting of the capsule. The present investigation addressed the following questions: 1) Does the aril play a role in opening the capsule? 2) Once the capsule is open does the aril buffer the seed against moisture loss? 3) Does the presence of an aril enhance/prolong viability of the seed? 4) How much moisture can the seed lose and still germinate? Observations and results suggested a function for the aril in capsule splitting, although the mechanism remains unclear. Seed moisture content (SMC) of mature arillate seeds was between 30-40 %; relative water content (RWC) was also high.

  • Phenology, Seasonality and Trait Relationships in a New Zealand Forest., Victoria University of Wellington, 2018
    Phenology, seasonality and trait relationships in a New Zealand forest SHARADA PAUDEL A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington In fulfilment of the requirements for Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington 2018 Sharada Paudel: Phenology, seasonality and trait relationships in a New Zealand forest., Victoria University of Wellington, 2018 ii SUPERVISORS Associate Professor Kevin Burns (Primary Supervisor) Victoria University of Wellington Associate Professor Ben Bell (Secondary Supervisor) Victoria University of Wellington iii Abstract The phenologies of flowers, fruits and leaves can have profound implications for plant community structure and function. Despite this only a few studies have documented fruit and flower phenologies in New Zealand while there are even fewer studies on leaf production and abscission phenologies. To address this limitation, I measured phenological patterns in leaves, flowers and fruits in 12 common forest plant species in New Zealand over two years. All three phenologies showed significant and consistent seasonality with an increase in growth and reproduction around the onset of favourable climatic conditions; flowering peaked in early spring, leaf production peaked in mid- spring and fruit production peaked in mid-summer coincident with annual peaks in temperature and photoperiodicity. Leaf abscission, however, occurred in late autumn, coincident with the onset of less productive environmental conditions. I also investigated differences in leaf longevities and assessed how seasonal cycles in the timing of leaf production and leaf abscission times might interact with leaf mass per area (LMA) in determining leaf longevity. Leaf longevity was strongly associated with LMA but also with seasonal variation in climate.
