Format for Plant Lists Thomsons Bush Vegetation and Plant List Vegetation Summary Thomsons Bush is a remnant of floodplain podocarp swamp forest dominated by kahikatea and matai (with occasional rimu, totara and pokaka). It adjoins cut-off meanders of the Waihopai River with its riparian forest of kowhai and lowland ribbonwood. Understory shrubs include wineberry, Coprosma, Fuchsia, peppertree, lemonwood and kohuhu. The remnant is a very important piece of forest being one of the few remaining remnants of kahikatea dominated swamp forest characteristic of central southern southland. However it is badly impacted by weeds (Darwins barberry, holly, ivy, sycamore, elderberry, Chilean flame creeper), a result of its urban setting with plants spreading from city gardens. There have been extensive restoration plantings and the remnant is rich in birdlife. Tracks and Interpretation The reserve is split in two on both sides of Queens Drive with interpretation signs and good walking tracks through both areas of bush and joining the Waihopai Walkway which links other areas of the Invercargill City.

Box 208106, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8106, U.S.A. Broad-scale phylogenetic analyses of the angiosperms and of the Asteridae have failed to confidently resolve relationships among the major lineages of the campanulid Asteridae (i.e., the euasterid II of APG II, 2003). To address this problem we assembled presently available sequences for a core set of 50 taxa, representing the diver- sity of the four largest lineages (Apiales, Aquifoliales, Asterales, Dipsacales) as well as the smaller “unplaced” groups (e.g., Bruniaceae, Paracryphiaceae, Columelliaceae). We constructed four data matrices for phylogenetic analysis: a chloroplast coding matrix (atpB, matK, ndhF, rbcL), a chloroplast non-coding matrix (rps16 intron, trnT-F region, trnV-atpE IGS), a combined chloroplast dataset (all seven chloroplast regions), and a combined genome matrix (seven chloroplast regions plus 18S and 26S rDNA). Bayesian analyses of these datasets using mixed substitution models produced often well-resolved and supported trees.

  • Divaricating Plants in New Zealand in Relation to Moa Browsing
    GREENWOOD AND ATKINSON: DIYARICATING PLANTS AND MOA BROWSING 21 EVOLUTION OF DIVARICATING PLANTS IN NEW ZEALAND IN RELATION TO MOA BROWSING R. M. GREENWOOD' and I. A. E. ATKINSON' SUMMAR Y: New Zealand appears to be the only country where spineless, small-leaved divaricating plants make up nearly 10% of the woody flora. Climatic explanations have been advanced to &ccount for the origin of these divaricating plants. We suggest that the divergent and interl~ced branching, the woody exterior and the tough stems of these plants are adaptations evolved in response to browsing by moas. Together with a few species of much smaHer birds, moas were the only browsing vertebrates in New Zealand prior to the arrival of man. Thq divaricate habit is probably only one of several strategies evolved by plants in response to moa browsing. However, because fioas fed in a different way from mammals there is little to support the idea that introduced browsing mammals have merely replaced moas as aQ ecological factor in New Zealand.

From the early 1970s, a small garden plot provided a touch of character to the original Institute building, but it was in 1979 that planning began to really make headway.

    12 DYNAMICS OF EVEN-AGED NOTHOFAGUS TRUNCATA AND N. FUSCA STANDS IN NORTH WESTLAND, NEW ZEALAND M. C SMALE Forest Research Institute, Private Bag, Rotorua, New Zealand H. VAN OEVEREN Agricultural University, Salverdaplein 11, P.O. Box 9101, 6700 HB, Wageningen, The Netherlands C D. GLEASON* New Zealand Forest Service, P.O. Box 138, Hokitika, New Zealand and M. O. KIMBERLEY Forest Research Institute, Private Bag, Rotorua, New Zealand (Received for publication 30 August, 1985; revision 12 January 1987) ABSTRACT Untended, fully stocked, even-aged stands of Nothofagus truncata (Col.) Ckn. (hard beech) or N. fusca (Hook, f.) Oerst. (red beech) of natural and cultural origin and ranging in age from 20 to 100 years, were sampled using temporary and permanent plots on a range of sites in North Westland, South Island, New Zealand. Changes in stand parameters with age were quantified in order to assess growth of these stands, and thus gain some insight into their silvicultural potential. Stands of each species followed a similar pattern of growth, with rapid early height and basal area increment. Mean top height reached a maximum of c. 27 m by age 100 years. Basal area reached an equilibrium of c. 41 m2/ha in N. truncata and 46 m2/ha in N. fusca as early as age 30 years. Nothofagus truncata stands had, on average, a somewhat lower mean diameter at any given age than N. fusca stands, and maintained higher stockings. Both species attained similar maximum volume of c. 460 m3/ha at age 100 years. Keywords: even-aged stands; stand dynamics; growth; Nothofagus truncata; Nothofagus fusca.

  • Podocarpus Totara
    Mike Marden and Chris Phillips [email protected] TTotaraotara Podocarpus totara INTRODUCTION AND METHODS Reasons for planting native trees include the enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity for conservation, establishment of a native cover on erosion-prone sites, improvement of water quality by revegetation of riparian areas and management for production of high quality timber. Signifi cant areas of the New Zealand landscape, both urban and rural, are being re-vegetated using native species. Many such plantings are on open sites where the aim is to quickly achieve canopy closure and often includes the planting of a mixture of shrubs and tree species concurrently. Previously, data have been presented showing the potential above- and below-ground growth performance of eleven native plant species considered typical early colonisers of bare ground, particularly in riparian areas (http://icm.landcareresearch.co.nz/research/land/Trial1results.asp). In this current series of posters we present data on the growth performance of six native conifer (kauri, rimu, totara, matai, miro, kahikatea) and two broadleaved hardwood (puriri, titoki) species most likely to succeed the early colonising species to become a major component in mature stands of indigenous forest (http://icm.landcareresearch.co.nz/research/land/ Trial2.asp). Data on the potential above- and below-ground early growth performance of colonising shrubby species together with that of conifer and broadleaved species will help land managers and community groups involved in re-vegetation projects in deciding the plant spacing and species mix most appropriate for the scale of planting and best suited to site conditions. Data are from a trial established in 2006 to assess the relative growth performance of native conifer and broadleaved hardwood tree species.

Abstract Novel habitats, rare plants and root traits. by Paula Ann Greer The loss of native plant species through habitat loss has been happening in NZ since the arrival of humans. This is especially true in Canterbury where less than 1% of the lowland plains are believed to be covered in remnant native vegetation. Rural land uses are changing and farm intensification is creating novel habitats, including farm irrigation earth dams. Dam engineers prefer not to have plants growing on dams. Earth dams are consented for 100 years, they could be used to support threatened native plants. Within the farm conversion of the present study dams have created an average of 1.7 hectares of ‘new land’ on their outside slope alone, which is the area of my research.

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.
