The Lichen Genus Physcia (Schreb.) Michx (Physciaceae: Ascomycota) in New Zealand
Tuhinga 16: 59–91 Copyright © Te Papa Museum of New Zealand (2005) The lichen genus Physcia (Schreb.) Michx (Physciaceae: Ascomycota) in New Zealand D. J. Galloway1 and R. Moberg 2 1 Landcare Research, New Zealand Ltd, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand ([email protected]) 2 Botany Section (Fytoteket), Museum of Evolution, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 16, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden ABSTRACT: Fourteen species of the lichen genus Physcia (Schreb.) Michx are recognised in the New Zealand mycobiota, viz: P. adscendens, P. albata, P. atrostriata, P. caesia, P. crispa, P. dubia, P. erumpens, P. integrata, P. jackii, P. nubila, P. poncinsii, P. tribacia, P. trib- acoides, and P. undulata. Descriptions of each taxon are given, together with a key and details of biogeography, chemistry, distribution, and ecology. Physcia tenuisecta Zahlbr., is synonymised with Hyperphyscia adglutinata, and Physcia stellaris auct. is deleted from the New Zealand mycobiota. Physcia atrostriata, P. dubia, P. integrata, and P. nubila are recorded from New Zealand for the first time. A list of excluded taxa is appended. KEYWORDS: lichens, New Zealand lichens, Physcia, atmospheric pollution, biogeography. Introduction genera with c. 860 species presently known (Kirk et al. 2001), and was recently emended to include taxa having: Species of Physcia (Schreb.) Michx, are foliose, lobate, Lecanora-type asci; a hyaline hypothecium; and ascospores loosely to closely appressed lichens, with a whitish, pale with distinct wall thickenings or of Rinodella-type (Helms greenish, green-grey to dark-grey upper surface (not dark- et al. 2003). Physcia is a widespread, cosmopolitan genus ening, or colour only little changed, when moistened). -

Opihi and Tengawai Rivers: Status of Gravel Resources and Management Implications Report U05/31
Opihi and Tengawai rivers: Status of gravel resources and management implications Report U05/31 Prepared by Dr Henry R. Hudson Environmental Management Associates Limited, Christchurch June 2005 Opihi & Tengawai river gravel resource evaluation Citation: Hudson, H.R. 2005. Opihi and Tengawai rrivers: Status of gravel resources and management implications. Environment Canterbury Report U05/31, Christchurch. 35 pages. Summary Environmental Management Associates (EMA) were commissioned by Environment Canterbury (ECan) to evaluate the status of the river gravel resources and management implications on the Opihi River and Tengawai River, Canterbury. Major findings/recommendations include: • It is likely there is significant under-reporting of recent gravel extraction. As well, some corrections in the gravel returns data base are required; and historic records should be incorporated. • The Opihi and Tengawai River beds are degrading as the result of a combination of factors, notably: ⇒ coastline retreat causing lower Opihi River re-grading; ⇒ uplift causing upper plains incision; ⇒ reduction in gravel supplies from scheme works; and ⇒ gravel extraction. • Large floods in 1986, 1994 and 1997 scoured the bed, or were locally neutral in effect, and transported large quantities of bed material to the sea (e.g. Opuha Dam breach). • Gravel is not being replenished at the rate of extraction and security of supply is uncertain – alternative supplies should be evaluated (e.g. off channel, land based and coastal zone). • The effects of gravel extraction exceeding rates of replenishment are not quantified, but could be significant and should be evaluated. • Historically large quantities of gravel were probably delivered to the coast from channel degradation (>80,000 m 3/y from the surveyed reaches). -

No one really owns the problem. Therefore, no one really owns the solution. Ban Ki-moon Abstract: There is an increasing demand for water resources in the Canterbury region. The impact of this demand has lead to unacceptable minimum river flows, which has resulted in adverse affects to river ecology. In an effort to resolve this problem water storage projects have gained considerable attention. However, in order to consider all values of the impact of water storage projects, a systematic way of implementing an ecosystem services approach is developed. This ecosystem services approach coupled with various appropriate analytical methods are developed for the purposes of evaluating the cost-effectiveness of water storage projects and the sustainability of river systems impacted by water storage projects.
