The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 581 .509 9355 Ess ECOLOGY OF THE OLEARIA COLENSOI DOMINATED SUB-ALPINE SCRUB IN THE SOUTHERN RUAHINE RANGE, NEW ZEALAND. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Botany at Massey University New Zealand Peter Ronald van Essen 1992 Olearia colensoi in flower. Reproduced from a lithograph by Walter Fitch in Flora Novae-Zelandiae (J.D. Hooker 1852). Source: Alexander Turnbull Library in New Zealand Heritage, Paul Hamlyn Ltd ABSTRACT The Olearia colensoi (leatherwood or tupari) dominated southern Ruahine sub-alpine scrub is the largest continuous area of sub-alpine asteraceous scrub in New Zealand - the result of a lowered treeline due to climatic conditions characterised by high cloud cover, high rainfall, and high winds and the absence of high altitude Nothofagus species. Meteorological investigation of seven sites in the southern Ruahine found that altitude alone was the main environmental detenninant of climatic variation, particularly temperature regime. Temperatures varied between sites at a lapse rate of 0.61°C lOOm-1 while daily fluctuation patterns were uniform for all sites. Rainfall increased with altitude over the Range-at a rate of 3.8mm m-1. Cloud interception, unrecorded by standard rain­ gauges, adds significantly to total 'rainfall'. Vegetative phenology of Olearia colensoi is highly seasonal and regular with an annual growth flush from mid November to January.

  • Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand: Obserations on Its Crater Lake And
    MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON CRATER LAKE 601 MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON ITS CRATER LAKE AND GLACIERS By N. E. ODELL (Department of Geology, University of Otago, Dunedin, N.Z.) ABSTRACT.Mt. Ruapehu, the highest summit in the North Island of New Zealand, is a semi-dormant volcano, whose crater lake was responsible for the flood that caused the disastrous railway accident on Christmas Eve, '953. Since the last eruption of '945, when mostly ash was ejected, the crater lake that subsequently formed has been contained by a barrier partly composed of lava and partly of neve and ash. It was the breaking through of the latter weaker portion of the dam that was responsible for the flood of mud and boulders which descended via the Whan- gaehu Glacier and struck the railway 25 miles (40 km.) distant. There is nO evidence of eruptive activity having been the cause of the outbreak. During three ascents of the mountain, observations were made of the glaciers, which have been in a state of gradual shrinkage over a number of years. But during the past Summer-a season of excep- tional dryness-the process of ablation and wastage has been greatly accelerated, so that immense areas of rock and ash have freshly emerged, and crevasses and dirt-ridges have taken the place of smooth neve or glacier surfaces. ZUSAMlliIENFASSUNG.Mt. Ruapehu, der hochste Gipfel auf der North Island Neuseelands, ist ein halb schlum- mernder Vulkan, dessen Kr~ter-See fur die Flut verantwortlich war, die das unheilvoIle Eisenbahnungluck am Heilig Abend 1953 verursachte.

The project was funded by the Lincoln University Research Fund (LURF). Abstract This report presents the findings from a qualitative study investigating the impacts of climate change-induced biophysical changes to resources housed within protected areas. The project follows a study which investigated biophysical changes, tourism stakeholder and management perspectives and challenges, and visitor use and experiences in Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Altogether, 15 interviews – with tourist operators and park managers at Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park – were undertaken in November 2014. While environmental (climate) changes were perceived to have directly impacted on visitor use of the park, they were commonly discussed in the context of broader changes in visitor behaviour and demand, and in the supply of nature-based tourism products. Biophysical and social changes to tourism and recreation within the park also impacted on, and were impacted by, management decisions and policies pertaining to conservation and visitor use.
