International Conference on Landscapes of the Southern Hemisphere Adelaide S.A., 2-7 September, 1986 PERCEIVING, CONCEIVING, PROTECTING AND USING NEW ZEALAND LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS S.R. Swaffield and K.F. O'Connor Lincoln College, Canterbury, New Zealand SUMMARY New Zealand, as a persisting temperate remnant of Gondwanaland, has distinctively ancient flora and fauna with a high degree of endemism. It differs from other larger southern land masses in its characteristic landform variety by rejuvenation from volcanic, tectonic and glacial activity, and from most other lands in the comparative brevity of human occupation. Its landscape serves, therefore, as a discernible record of the recent interaction of Polynesian neolithic and modern European cultures with a complex and youthful topography inhabited by a mostly ancient and somewhat limited biota. Attempts to classify New Zealand terrain in biogeographic or geomorphic terms have for many years been limited to describing up to 20 districts or regions. -

James Gordon Wilson VIEWING: Sunday 30th April 11.00am - 4.00pm Monday 1st April 9.00am - 5.00pm Tuesday 2nd May 9.00am - 5.00pm The library of James Gordon Wilson (1882-1967) the noted farmer, historian reflects a passionate interest in the history of New Zealand, the Pacific and Hawke’s Bay province. Jim Wilson was born in Temuka, North Otago. In 1897 he moved north with his parents to Southern Hawke’s Bay when they took up land in the Dannevirke area. In 1907 Wilson brought “Nertherby” his much loved farm located At Hatuma near Waipukurau and lived there for the rest of What proved to be a long and extremely productive life. On a visit to the Dunedin Exhibition in February 1926 “I saw at Newbold’s book shop a beautiful copy of Tasman’s Journal. He wanted 10 pounds – I offered 9. Eventually in July I sent a cheque for 10 pounds and got the book. I well remember the thrill of opening the parcel – it has ever since been the ‘king of my collection’. On my way home from the Dunedin Exhibition I called at Smith’s bookshop in Wellington. On the counter were the 2 volumes in one of McKay’s Native Affairs of the South Island. I paid him 4 pounds 10 for it and was so worried about something I forgot to take it away. -
REVIEW Postglacial History of New Zealand Wetlands and Implications
MCGLONE:Available on-line NEW at: ZEALANDhttp://www.newzealandecology.org/nzje/ POSTGLACIAL WETLANDS 1 REVIEW Postglacial history of New Zealand wetlands and implications for their conservation Matt S. McGlone Landcare Research, PO Box 40, Lincoln 7640, New Zealand (Email:[email protected]) Published on-line: 9 March 2009 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Most New Zealand wetlands formed at or after the end of the last glaciation (c. 18 000 cal yrs BP). Those associated with major rivers and close to the coast tend to be young as erosive processes both destroy and initiate wetlands. However, there is a strong linear trend in initiations since 14 000 cal yrs BP, which suggests that geomorphic processes such as soil deterioration, landslides, sand dune movement and river course changes are constantly adding new, permanent wetlands. Most wetlands began as herbaceous fens but usually transitioned to shrub- or forest-covered bog–fen systems, in particular after the beginning of the Holocene (11 500 cal yrs BP). Raised bogs formed from fens during the late-glacial and early Holocene, when river down-cutting isolated them from groundwater inflow. As climates warmed through the late-glacial and early Holocene, wooded wetlands spread and over 75% of lowland peat profiles preserve wood layers. Large basins with high water inflow often contain lakes or lagoons and have maintained herbaceous swamps, whereas those with limited catchments have become almost entirely covered with forest or shrubs. Wetlands in drier districts tend to have been initiated during the mid- and late Holocene as the climate cooled and rain-bearing systems penetrated more often. -

Although many of these ecosystems are under threat from anthropogenic modification and their biodiversity values are declining, they still are not adequately identified by current land classifications. We compiled a list of 72 rare ecosystems from the literature and by canvassing New Zealand ecologists and land managers. Rare ecosystems are defined as those having a total extent less than 0.5% (i.e. < 134 000 ha) of New Zealand’s total area (268 680 km2), and the resultant list includes both well-recognised and less well known ecosystems. To define the ecosystems in a robust fashion we developed a framework based on descriptors of physical environments that distinguish rare ecosystems from each other and from more common ecosystems. Using this framework the 72 rare ecosystems are defined using pertinent environmental descriptors selected from soil age, parent material, soil chemistry and particle size, landform, drainage regime, disturbance, and climate.
