  • Trees for the Land
    Trees for the Land GROWING TREES IN NORTHLAND FOR PROTECTION, PRODUCTION AND PLEASURE FOREWORD Trees are an integral, highly visible and valuable part of the Northland landscape. While many of us may not give much thought to the many and varied roles of trees in our lives, our reliance on them can not be overstated. Both native and exotic tree species make important contributions to our region – environmentally, socially, culturally and economically. Pohutukawa – a coastal icon – line our coasts and are much loved and appreciated by locals and tourists alike. Similarly, many of the visitors who come here do not consider their trip complete without a journey to view the giant and majestic kauri of Waipoua, which are of huge importance to Mäori. Many Northlanders make their livings working in the forest industry or other industries closely aligned to it and trees also play a crucial role environmentally. When all these factors are considered, it makes sense that wise land management should include the planting of a variety of tree species, particularly since Northland is an erosion- prone area. Trees help stabilise Northland’s hillsides and stream banks. They help control winter flood flows and provide shelter and shade for the land, rivers and stock. They also provide valuable shelter, protection and food for Northland’s flora and fauna. This publication draws together tree planting information and advice from a wide range of sources into one handy guide. It has been written specifically for Northlanders and recommends trees that will survive well in our sometimes demanding climate. The Northland Regional Council is committed to the sustainable management and development of natural resources like our trees.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Behaviour and Activity Budgeting of Reproductive Kiwi in a Fenced Population A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science In Zoology At Massey University, Manawatu Jillana Robertson 2018 Abstract North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) are flightless, nocturnal, usually solitary, and secretive birds, so knowledge of their behaviour is limited. In this study, I endeavoured to obtain a more detailed understanding of adult kiwi behaviour within two pest fenced areas focusing around the breeding season at the 3363 ha Maungatautari Scenic Reserve in Waikato, New Zealand. Within Maungatautari’s pest free enclosures, I attempted to determine male and female activity patterns over 24-hours from activity transmitter data; document diurnal and nocturnal behaviours of kiwi using video cameras; determine size and distribution of home ranges; and establish patterns of selection of daytime shelter types. Male kiwi were fitted with Wild Tech “chick timer” transmitters which recorded activity for the previous seven days. Incubating males spent significantly less time active than non incubating males with some activity occurring during the daytime. Non-incubating male activity duration decreased but activity as a proportion of night length increased with decreasing night length. Less active incubating males, suggesting more time caring for eggs, had more successful clutches. Female activity was recorded using an Osprey receiver/datalogger and 30x60x90 pulse activity transmitters.

Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy at Lincoln University by Xinglei Cui Lincoln University 2020 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy. Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Breeding systems and reproduction of indigenous shrubs in fragmented ecosystems A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III Plant Ecology at Massey University by Merilyn F Merrett .. � ... : -- �. � Massey University Palrnerston North, New Zealand 2006 Abstract Sixteen native shrub species with various breeding systems and pollination syndromes were investigated in geographically separated populations to determine breeding systems, reproductive success, population structure, and habitat characteristics. Of the sixteen species, seven are hermaphroditic, seven dioecious, and two gynodioecious. Two of the dioecious species are cryptically dioecious, producing what appear to be perfect, hermaphroditic flowers,but that functionas either male or female. One of the study species, Raukauaanomalus, was thought to be dioecious, but proved to be hermaphroditic. Teucridium parvifolium, was thought to be hermaphroditic, but some populations are gynodioecious. There was variation in self-compatibility among the fo ur AIseuosmia species; two are self-compatible and two are self-incompatible. Self­ incompatibility was consistent amongst individuals only in A. quercifolia at both study sites, whereas individuals in A. macrophylia ranged from highly self-incompatible to self-compatible amongst fo ur study sites. The remainder of the hermaphroditic study species are self-compatible. Five of the species appear to have dual pollination syndromes, e.g., bird-moth, wind-insect, wind-animal. High levels of pollen limitation were identified in three species at fo ur of the 34 study sites.

  • Descriptions of Some Mature Kauri Forests of New Zealand, By
    DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME MATURE KAURI FORESTS OF NEW ZEALAND by Moinuddin Ahmed and John Ogden Department of Botany, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland ABSTRACT A quantitative sampling of 25 mature kauri stands, throughout the species natural limits, was carried out. Each kauri stand is described in terms of its phytosociological attributes (frequency, density and basal area) for kauri and associated canopy and subcanopy species. A species list of plants under 10cm dbh is also given with their relative frequencies in each stand. In all stands kauri comprises most of the basal area. It is associated with 10 different co-dominant species. However, most of the forests have a similar species composition. It is suggested that all these kauri forest samples belong to one overall association. INTRODUCTION The vegetation of various kauri forests has been described by Adam (1889), Cockayne (1908, 1928), Cranwell and Moore (1936), Sexton (1941), Anon (1949) and more recently Barton (1972), Anon (1980) and Ecroyd (1982). A quantitative description of some kauri forests was given by Palmer (1982), Ogden (1983) and Wardle (1984). However, due to extensive past disturbance and milling, most of the above accounts do not describe the natural forest state. Observations on the population dynamics of mature kauri forests were presented by Ahmed and Ogden (1987) and Ogden et al. (1987) while multivariate analyses were performed by Ahmed (1988). However, no comprehensive attempt has yet been made to analyse mature undisturbed kauri forest stands in relation to their species composition. Kauri forests have a restricted distribution in the North Island. Among these remnants, there are few, if any, truly untouched sites.

  • In 1987, the Authors Isolated a Ballistospore-Forming Yeast from a Rewarewa Leaf, I.E

NOV., A BAL- LISTOSPORE-FORMING YEAST ISOLATED FROM KNIGHTIA EXCELSA COLLECTED IN NEW ZEALAND TAKASHI NAKASE,* MUTSUMI ITOH, ANDJUNTA SUGIYAMA' Japan Collection of Microorganisms, The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), Hirosawa 2-1, Wako, Saitama 351-01, Japan The Institute of Applied Microbiology, The University of Tokyo, Yayoi 1-1-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan (Received February 8, 1989) A hitherto undescribed ballistospore-forming yeast was isolated from Knightia excelsa infected by sooty molds collected in New Zealand. It is characterized by ubiquinone-9 and the lack of xylose in the cells so that it is included in the genus Bensingtonia. This yeast resembles B. intermedia and B, yamatoana but is easily distinguished from these two species by the assimilation of nitrate and lactose and the requirement of pyridoxine. Bensingtonia ingoldii Nakase et Itoh sp. nov. is proposed for this yeast. In 1987, the authors isolated a ballistospore-forming yeast from a Rewarewa leaf, i.e. Knightia excelsa (Proteaceae) collected by one of the authors (J. Sugiyama). This strain contains no xylose in the whole cell hydrolyzate and has Q-9 as the major component of ubiquinones so that it is included in the "intermedius group," a group of species having Q-9 in the genus Sporobolomyces. Yamada and Nakagawa (15) found that this yeast is different from any known species of the Q-9- equipped species of Sporobolomyces in the electrophoretic pattern of seven enzymes. In 1988, Nakase and Boekhout (5) emended the diagnosis of the genus Bensingtonia and transferred all of the known Q-9-equipped species of Sporobolomyces into Bensingtonia.

EFFECTS OF UNGULATES ON STRUCTURE AND SPECIES COMPOSITION IN THE UREWERA FORESTS AS SHOWN BY EXCLOSURES Summary: Seventeen exclosures were built by the New Zealand Forest Service within Urewera forests over the period 1961-68 to exclude ungulates. Forest structure and species composition inside and outside these exclosures were compared in 1980-81. Some relatively shade tolerant species such as the fern Asplenium bulbiferum, the liane Ripogonum scandens, the sub-canopy shrubs Geniostoma ligustrifolium and Coprosma australis and the canopy species Beilschmiedia tawa were less abundant in certain tiers outside the exclosures than inside. By contrast, only a few species were more abundant outside then inside the exclosures. These included the unpalatable shrub Pseudowintera colorata, turf-forming Uncinia species and Cardamine debilis. Overall density and species richness for small diametered trees and for the sapling tier were lower outside the exclosures than inside. Despite the large reduction in ungulate numbers throughout Urewera forests these introduced browsing animals, particularly deer, still affect the structure and composition of most forest types.

Introduction however, apparently anomolous species The Urewera forests cover about 400 000 ha of distributions, not fully adjusted to altitude, have steep highlands, of which approximately half lie been explained in terms of recent volcanic activity within Urewera National Park (McKelvey, 1973).

Photographer: Jeremy Rolfe CURRENT CONSERVATION STATUS 2012 | Not Threatened PREVIOUS CONSERVATION STATUSES 2009 | Not Threatened 2004 | Not Threatened BRIEF DESCRIPTION Tall cylindrical tree bearing masses of dark green jagged leathery leaves and dense spikes of reddish flowers common in regenerating forest of the North Island and Marlborough Sounds. Leaves 10-15cm long by 2-4cm wide, juvenile leaves to 30cm long. New growth covered in reddish fuzz. Rangitoto Island. Photographer: John Barkla DISTRIBUTION Endemic monotypic genus. North and South Islands. Common in the North Island, but confined to the Marlborough Sounds in the South Island. HABITAT A common tree of coastal, lowland and lower montane shrubland, secondary regrowth, and on occasion mature forest. Frost-tender when young so generally scarce from cooler, frost-prone habitats - nevertheless it can be very common in suitable sites on the Central Volcanic Plateau of the North Island. FEATURES Tall tree with columnar (fastigiate) growth-form up to 30 m tall. Trunk up to 1 m diam. Bark dark brown. Branches erect, fastigiate, at first angled, clad in red-brown (rust-coloured), velutinous, tomentum. Juvenile leaves yellow- green, 150-300(-400) x 10-15 mm, narrowly linear-lanceolate, sometimes forked 2,3 or 4 times, margins acutely serrated. Adult leaves dark green, 100-150(-200) x 25-40 mm, broad lanceolate to narrow-oblong or oblong, sometimes obovate, occasionally forked, rigid, bluntly and coarsely serrated, covered in deciduous velutinous red- brown pubescence.
