  • The Floristic Status of the Aldermen Islands Compared with Other Offshore Islands of the Auckland Province
    61 THE FLORISTIC STATUS OF THE ALDERMEN ISLANDS COMPARED WITH OTHER OFFSHORE ISLANDS OF THE AUCKLAND PROVINCE by D.J. Court* SUMMARY Data shows that the Aldermen Islands possess a reduced indigenous flora compared to that of other offshore islands. The Aldermen have few weeds, but these are more significant because of the reduced flora. A list of adventive weed species is given showing those most frequently found on offshore islands of the Auckland Province. DISCUSSION To obtain any valid comparison of island floras it is necessary to take into account the following influencing factors: (a) Distance from the mainland. (b) Direction of prevailing winds. (c) History of any modification of the vegetation. (d) Area suitable and available for development of "coastal forest". Data for 10 islands or small groups of islands (including the Aldermen Islands) has been collated. Only those islands of the Auckland Province between 70 and 200 hectares in area have been included (Table 1). Large islands such as Mayor, Little Barrier and Hen Island have therefore been excluded from this study. Small rock stacks, such as Old Man Rock and Sail Rock (Atkinson, 1962, 1972) are also excluded. The apparently low proportion of adventive weed species on the Aldermen Islands prompted a comparison based on numbers of weed species in relation to distance offshore (Figs 1 and 2), i.e. were there fewer weed species on islands a greater distance offshore? This was found to be so to a slight extent only, as Cuvier and Burgess Islands have been thoroughly disturbed by grazing stock. All the islands considered have been burned over to a greater or lesser extent by the Maori, except West Island of the Three Kings Group.

ISSN 1171-9834 2000 Department of Conservation, P.O. Box 10-420, Wellington, New Zealand Reference to material in this report should be cited thus: Beveridge, A.E.; Smale, M.C.; Holzapfel, A.S., 2000. Ecology and management of Pureora Forest Park. Conservation Advisory Science Notes No. 252, Department of Conservation, Wellington. Keywords: forest ecology, park management, Pureora Forest Park, bibliography. Introduction This is not an exhaustive bibliography but the 277 papers comprise all the published and unpublished items relevant to the Park that could be located over a 12 month period. The original terms of reference from the Department of Conservation stated that the bibliography should deal with flora and fauna values and pest man- agement in the park. The scope has been somewhat broadened to encompass ecological values and management in the broadest sense, including descrip- tive material, research papers, forest history, management plans and the resto- ration of forest condition and wildlife following direct or indirect human im- pact (especially from the introduction of browsing animals and predators). The period covered is 1950-1999. Pureora (State) Forest Park was formed in 1978 after a New Zealand Forest Service seminar held in Taupo to consider management proposals for the Rangitoto/Hauhungaroa Ranges.
