  • Factors Involved in the Recent Mortality of Plants from Forest and Scrub Along the Lake Te an Au Shoreline, Fiordland
    34 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ZEALAND EcOLOGICAL SOCIETY. VOL. 24, 1977 FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE RECENT MORTALITY OF PLANTS FROM FOREST AND SCRUB ALONG THE LAKE TE AN AU SHORELINE, FIORDLAND A. F MARK" P. N. JOHNSON', J. B. WILSON' SUMMARY: Mortality of forest and scrub species from most deltas of the Lake Te Anau shoreline is described following unnaturally prolonged flooding during 1975. Despite a high incidence of pinhole borer in the affected beech trees there is conclusive evidence that the mortality in most species was due to prolonged high water tables that exceeded the tolerances of many important shoreline species. Differential mortality in Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) apparently depended on whether or not plants were totally submerged for substantial periods-their root systems appear to be tolerant of indefinite flooding. The results have substantiated previous predictions on submergence tolerance of species from lake-shore forest and scrub communities. These tolerance values had been derived by indirect methods and form the basis of the high-level operational guidelines for use of the lake waters for hydro-electric generation.

A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey Unive-rsity RICHARD SCOTT GRAY 1977 ii. ABSTRACT An extensive Wild Life Service conservation program to save the Kakapo parrot from extinction has permitted the collection of feeding data in Fiordland and on the sancturary, Maud IsJ.and in Pelorus Sound, between November 1974 and MQrch 1977. Four expeditions, each of 4 to 6 weeks between January 1975 and March 1977 enabled my spending over 4 months in the Fiordland Kakapo areas and a further 6 weeks was spent in the Kakapo search on Stewart Island in July and August 1977. ' A total of 15 occupied Kakapo territories in Fiordland were found over the two and a half year period. Kakapo from 3 of these territories were moved to Maud Island and monthly visits between September 1975 and August 1976 enabled regular collection of droppings for faecal anal)sis study. A combined appraisal of feeding sign and faecal content, using cuticle analysis techniques has enabled a more accurate understanding of the Kakapo 1 s diet and its seasonal variations to ba determined. The mobility of the Kakapo could also be roughly estimated and on Maud Island it appeared the Kakapo were learning to obtain new foods.
