  • Environmental Pest Plants
    4.8.3 Indigenous forest on the range and plateaus The Kaimai forests were included in the National Forest Survey (NFS) of indigenous timber resources of 1946-55. The southern half of the ranges was systematically sampled in 1946-48 and the northern half sampled less intensively in 1951-52. These data were used for the compilation of forest type maps (Dale and James 1977). The northern ranges were further sampled by the Ecological Forest Survey in 1965-66, to provide data for more detailed ecological typing. Descriptions of vegetation composition and pattern on the range and plateaus are provided by Dale and James (1977), Clarkson (2002), and Burns and Smale (2002). Other vegetation maps are provided by Nicholls (1965, 1966a&b, 1967a&b, 1971a&b, 1974a, 1975). Further descriptive accounts are provided by Nicholls (1968, 1969, 1972, 1976a&b, 1978, 1983a-c, 1984, 1985a&b, 2002). Beadel (2006) provides a comprehensive overview of vegetation in the Otanewainuku Ecological District and also provides vegetation descriptions and vegetation type maps for privately-owned natural areas within the tract, such as at Te Waraiti and the Whaiti Kuranui Block. Humphreys and Tyler (1990) provide similar information for the Te Aroha Ecological District. A broad representation of indigenous forest pattern is provided in Figure 9. Tawa and kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa) with scattered emergent rimu and northern rata dominates forests on the Mamaku Plateau (Nicholls 1966, Smale et al. 1997). Rimu increases in abundance southwards across the plateau, as the contribution of coarse rhyolitic tephra to soils increased (Smale et al. 1997). Beeches (Nothofagus spp.) (beeches) are present locally on the plateau (Nicholls 1966).
