All copyright in this report is the property of Wildland Consultants Ltd and any unauthorised publication, reproduction, or adaptation of this report is a breach of that copyright. © 2019 Contract Report No. 1950s-xiv 1. INTRODUCTION Mercury NZ Ltd was granted resource consents in 2011 to construct the proposed Turitea Wind Farm, on the northern end of the Tararua Range (full consent conditions are provided in Appendix 1). Sixty turbine sites are consented (33 in the Northern Zone and 27 in the Southern Zone). At this stage, only the Northern Zone and the transmission towers to connect the wind farm to the Linton substation are to be constructed. This is anticipated to result in the removal of some indigenous vegetation, including horopito (Pseudowintera colorata) forest or scrub and secondary broadleaved forest and scrub. Condition 33 of Schedule 2 of the consents specifies that a Rehabilitation and Revegetation Plan is to be prepared for areas adversely affected by works and to mitigate for the loss of indigenous vegetation: Condition 33. The Consent Holder shall engage a suitably qualified and experienced ecologist to prepare a Rehabilitation/Revegetation Plan (in consultation with Palmerston North City Council's Principal Planner, regarding those parts of the plan for Browns Flat) for those areas disturbed by the construction of roads, crane working platforms, and turbine platforms, where possible. For the avoidance of doubt, the Rehabilitation/Revegetation Plan will address the rehabilitation of the two sections of the Water Catchment Access road that will become redundant once the two new realignments have been put in place. The revegetation undertaken shall use a combination of indigenous planting and management of natural revegetation (specifically the control of wildling conifers and other invasive weeds). All areas affected by works need to be rehabilitated so that the vegetation pattern matches the areas immediately adjacent to them (Condition 37.1). To mitigate for the loss of indigenous vegetation, parts of Browns Flat will be revegetated and the total area to be revegetated depends on the amount of vegetation cleared by wind farm construction works. Resource Consent Condition 34 sets out the total mitigation area required to be revegetated within Browns Flat; which is at least ten hectares if both the Northern and Southern Turbine Zones are constructed, or at least one hectare if the only the Northern Turbine Zone is constructed. These revegetation areas include the provision of 0.5 hectares of rehabilitation as mitigation for vegetation clearance associated with the construction of the transmission line (Condition 35). The revegetation plan for Browns Flat therefore needs to be sufficiently flexible to scale up or down depending on which parts of the wind farm are constructed. This plan focuses on rehabilitation and revegetation activities as required for construction of the Northern Turbine Zone and the transmission lines; however, for consistency and future-proofing reasons, some aspects of the Southern Turbine Zone and South Range Road have also been addressed in the introduction and appendices. © 2019 1 Contract Report No. 1950s-xiv For the purposes of this plan: Rehabilitation refers to the restoration of soils and vegetation in areas damaged by earthworks. Revegetation is the act of planting or sowing species. This will be undertaken as part of rehabilitation (restoring the vegetation), but at Browns Flat revegetation will consist of planting indigenous species into rank pasture grassland. Condition 36 of Schedule 2 of the consents states that the Rehabilitation/Revegetation Plan shall include details of the following matters: The aims of the rehabilitation and revegetation programme (addressed in Section 3 of this report). The areas to be treated, depending on which turbine zones are constructed, in consultation with the Palmerston North City Council (addressed in Sections 6 and 8). The types of techniques to be used and the places they will be used (addressed in Sections 6, 7, and 8). A requirement for indigenous species selection and eco-sourcing, in consultation with local iwi, to ensure that the revegetation uses a combination of indigenous planting and management of natural revegetation (addressed in Section 7.3). Details of the monitoring and maintenance techniques to be adopted, including weed control, pest control, infill planting and operational timing (addressed in Sections 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12). A plan of the existing wetlands within Brown's Flat (addressed in Section 6.1). Condition 11 of Schedule 1 of the consents also requires that each Site Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) includes; 11.6 Design for the works covered by the SEMP, showing; h Revegetation and rehabilitation (identification of revegetation to be undertaken and revegetation methods and any maintenance) It should be noted that this plan does not describe specific revegetation and rehabilitation information regarding decommissioning of any sediment or erosion control structures. That detail will be contained, submitted and certified by the Regional Council as part of each SEMP. Despite this, where relevant, each SEMP will incorporate the key philosophies and principals as set out within this Plan. © 2019 2 Contract Report No. 1950s-xiv 2. SITE DESCRIPTION Turitea Wind Farm is to be located along a 14 kilometre section of ridge which is part of the northern Tararua Range, approximately 10 kilometres southeast of Palmerston North. The site extends from Pahiatua-Aokautere Road in the north along South Range Road to the Love property in the south, although the Southern Zone is not proposed to be constructed at this stage. Nearly half of the 60 consented turbine sites are located in the Turitea Water Catchment Reserve, which covers more than 3,500 hectares (Figure 1). Turitea Water Catchment Reserve raises from around 160 metres above sea level at the upper reservoir to 500-600 metres above sea level on the main ridge, attaining 767 metres at the highest point, the summit of Arawaru in Hardings Park. Within the Northern Zone, 14 of the consented turbine locations lie within the Turitea Water Catchment Reserve. The rest of the turbine sites are located on privately- owned farmland on the eastern and northern sides of the reserve, where the vegetation cover is mainly comprised of grazed pasture. 3. AIMS The aims of this Rehabilitation and Revegetation Plan are to: Rehabilitate areas disturbed as a result of construction activities, but which are not required for the operation of the wind farm. The rehabilitation of these areas will match adjacent vegetation types. Rehabilitate any sections of the Turitea Water Catchment Access Road that will become redundant with the new realignment1. Rehabilitation of these areas will match the adjacent vegetation types. Revegetate Browns Flat with a focus of increasing indigenous vegetation dominance along riparian margins starting at the lowest elevation section of the Turitea Stream and working upstream. Where appropriate, align the revegetation of Browns Flat with the aims set out in the recently commissioned report for Palmerston North City Council; “Native forest restoration and carbon; Browns Flat scoping study” (Groundtruth 2018).

  • 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.

  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.
