He Ahuwhenua Taketake Indigenous Agroecology December 2015 He Ahuwhenua Taketake Indigenous Agroecology A report prepared for Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Contract 11RF02-BHUOT Edited by Marion Johnson and Chris Perley BHU Future Farming Centre 2 Contributing authors Marion Johnson - Principal Investigator Marion Johnson is a senior scientist with the Future Farming Centre Lincoln and a Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Research Fellow. Marion has a background in sheep and cattle farming, working both at home and abroad. She then swapped gum boots for a desk and gained a Masters and PhD in Veterinary Parasitology. Her research grapples with the problems of declining animal health on many farms, believing that healthy stock thrive on healthy feed grown in healthy soils. She has searched for natural anthelminthics amongst native plants, in consultation with local communities looked for animal health remedies from traditional medicines and worked with local farmers and communities to implement the principles and practices of Agroecology. Multi- cultural and interdisciplinary projects, natural medicines, Agroecology, shrewd farming within the perceived constraints of regenerative agriculture and finding the best possible local forage options for animal health and productivity are her major research directions.

James is currently a Senior Lecturer, Ecology Department and Tūmuaki of Te Mātāpuna – Kaupapa Māori Unit, Agricultural and Life Science Faculty, Lincoln University. He works as an ecotoxicologist at the Cawthron Institute, Nelson, where he assists with Māori business development. James is a trustee of the Tuaropaki Trust (an Ahu Whenua Trust that has 3 business interests in the energy and food production, and communication sectors). He is also a co-Deputy Director for Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga-Centre of Māori Research Excellence. James’ scientific research interests lie in the development and application of ecotoxicological tools for the assessment of the biological effects and impacts of legacy and new emerging contaminants on culturally significant species and sites (especially freshwater) in New Zealand. He enjoys conducting his research within multi-disciplinary/multi-organisational programmes that are firmly embedded in Māori culture and process but with strong linkages to end-user organisations. This approach interfaces between science and mātauranga Māori (traditional and contemporary Māori knowledge) and explores mechanisms that promote mutual understanding and equality of uptake in policy and decision making with respect to environmental resource management.

Emma’s research has focused on the New Zealand scallop Pecten novaezelandiae in a customary reserve – Te Whaka ā Te Wera Mātaitai, Rakiura. Her research has aimed to provide the community who locally manage the resource with insight into those factors influencing the recovery of the scallop population. Emma joined the research team through the help of a studentship funded by Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga and hosted by Marion Johnson. She had a particular interest in understanding the range of perspectives of what constitutes healthy waterways in New Zealand and how land use and policies influence waterway health from technical and traditional perspectives.

Chris has a three decade background in operational management, advisory services, policy, strategy and research covering participatory approaches and strategic frameworks relating to sustainable land management and integrated land use. His expertise extends through agriculture, forestry, economic policy, primary sector strategy, environmental policy and environmental philosophy. He is motivated by the potential of place – environmentally, socially and economically, if and when we get the philosophy right. Chris has edited NZ J Forestry, is a writer and commentator, and as Manager Land Management in Hawke’s Bay Regional Council implemented Integrated Catchment Management approaches to facilitating change and the sharing of a collective vision of place. His work is largely to create a necessary alternative to the mechanical industrial model of land use that currently predominates in Aotearoa-New Zealand. The complex adaptive systems views of indigenous peoples from around the world – including the pre-modern views of Celtic and Germanic traditions – has a major role to play in this shift. www.chrisperleyblog.wordpress.com [email protected] Priscilla Wehi Cilla is now a researcher and Rutherford Discovery Fellow with the wildlife and ecology management team at Landcare Manaaki Whenua.

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.

King wrote, ‘Nobody in New Zealand – and few elsewhere in the world- has been subjected to group slander as intense and as damaging as that heaped upon the Moriori.’ Since its publication, historians have denigrated earlier works dealing with the Moriori, arguing that the way in which they portrayed Moriori was almost entirely unfavourable. This thesis tests this conclusion. It explores the perspectives of European visitors to the Chatham Islands from 1791 to 1989, when King published Moriori. It does this through an examination of newspapers, Native Land Court minutes, and the writings of missionaries, settlers, and ethnographers. The thesis asks whether or not historians have been selective in their approach to the sources, or if, perhaps, they have ignored the intricacies that may have informed the views of early observers. The thesis argues that during the nineteenth century both Maori and European perspectives influenced the way in which Moriori were portrayed in European narrative.

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.

Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

    Temporal Development and Regeneration Dynamics of Restored Urban Forests

    Temporal Development and Regeneration Dynamics of Restored Urban Forests By Katherine de Silva A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Ecology & Biodiversity School of Biological Sciences Faculty of Sciences Victoria University of Wellington October 2019 Supervisors: Stephen Hartley. Director of the Centre of Biodiversity & Restoration Ecology, Victoria University of Wellington Kiri Joy Wallace. Postdoctoral Fellow, Environmental Research Institute, University of Waikato. Katherine de Silva: Temporal Development and Regeneration Dynamics of Restored Urban Forests, © October 2019. 2 ABSTRACT Urban forest restoration programmes are a key tool used to initiate, re-create or accelerate the succession of forest species; improving ecosystem services, function, resilience and biodiversity. Succession is a temporal shift in species dominance driven by abiotic and biotic influences, but over decadal timescales the trajectory and success of restoration plantings in degraded urban environments can be hindered. To facilitate the successful reconstruction of forest ecosystems from scratch, an understanding of the temporal patterns in planted forest development, dynamics of seedling regeneration and dominant drivers of seedling diversity is required. Using a chronosequence approach, permanent plots were established at 44 restored urban forests aged 5 to 59 years since initial plantings took place, across five New Zealand cities between Wellington and Invercargill. Vegetation surveys were undertaken and data on micro- climate were collected. This study examined the 1) temporal dynamics of restored urban forest development and seedling regeneration and 2) dominant drivers of seedling regeneration. Data were analysed using linear regression models, breakpoint analysis and mixed-effects modelling. Early forest development (<20 years) exhibited the most changes in canopy composition and structure, forest floor dynamics, seedling community and microclimate.

    Development of Community-Based Monitoring Methods for Coastal Dunes of the Bay of Plenty Region

    Development of community-based monitoring methods for coastal dunes of the Bay of Plenty Region David Bergin and Michael Bergin Environmental Restoration Ltd June 2018 Papamoa College students surveying vegetation cover on the foredunes along a transect, Papamoa Beach A contract report prepared for the Bay of Plenty Regional Council by Environmental Restoration Ltd. This project has been undertaken in collaboration with the Coastal Restoration Trust of New Zealand and their research partners. For the Bay of Plenty coastal dunes, monitoring methods were developed with assistance and in collaboration with Chris Ward, Shay Dean, Courtney Bell and Hamish Dean of the Bay of Plenty Regional Council. 1 Scope and content of this report The Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) was one of the first councils to adopt a community‐ based approach to dune management in New Zealand following programmes that were initiated widely in New South Wales in the 1980s and expanded to other parts of Australia (Dahm et al. 2005). Extensive programmes now operate in many regions throughout New Zealand. In the Bay of Plenty region there are currently community Coast Care groups located from Waihi Beach in the west to Whangaparaoa on the east of the region involved in various aspects of dune restoration and management (Figure 1). They are formed by partnerships between the local community, iwi, district councils, the Department of Conservation and BOPRC working together to protect and restore beaches and coastal dunes (www.boprc.govt.nz/residents‐and‐ communities/care‐groups/coast‐care/). The Coast Care groups around the BOP region are involved in a wide range of activities to help protect the coastline, restore natural dune form and function, and are increasing awareness of coastal hazards and climate change in local communities.
