  • Revegetation of the Stockton Coal Mine, Buller©
    114 Combined Proceedings International Plant Propagators’ Society, Volume 57, 2007 Revegetation of the Stockton Coal Mine, Buller© Michael Kingsbury Solid Energy New Zealand Limited, P.O. Box 250, Westport Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Stockton Coal Mine is situated 25 km north-east of Westport and stretches from 1 km to 5 km from the coast. The 2,200-ha coal mining licence is located within the western sector of the Buller Coal Field on a plateau 400 to 1,100 m above the coastal plain. The opencast mine currently has a disturbed area of 750 ha and is expected to have a footprint of more than 900 ha at end of mine life. Thick seams of generally high quality coal exported for use in thermal, coking, and specialised markets overlies a basement of weathered granite rock. This ma- terial is quarried for mine road aggregate and, due to its phosphate content, is capable of supporting vegetation. Overlying the coal is a thick layer of hard, mas- sive quartz sandstone overburden, which is fragmented by blasting and stripped using 180-tonne excavators. It has poor plant-supporting characteristics, being low in fertility and having low water and nutrient-holding capacity. Remnants of the Kaiata mudstone exist on top of the sandstone and contribute to acid rock drainage through oxidation of sulphide-bearing minerals. Stockton Mine experiences a moist (some would say very moist) temperate cli- mate, which, combined with strong prevailing west/north westerly winds, means extreme weather conditions are common. Annual mean precipitation of 6,500 mm (predominantly as rain) and common, intense rainfall events (e.g., 140 mm in 6 h) produce extreme soil nutrient leaching and, along with severe winter frosts, causes high erosion rates of unprotected soil particles.

In the North, from the Heaphy Track to Greymouth, northern rata often dominates the forest landscape, mainly near the coast and on limestone faces.

  • A Selected Bibliography of Pohutukawa and Rata (1788-1999)
    [Type text] Preface Stephanie Smith, an experienced librarian and Rhodes Scholar with specialist skills in the development of bibliographies, was a wonderful partner for Project Crimson in the production of this comprehensive bibliography of pohutukawa and rata. Several years ago the Project Crimson Trust recognized the need to bring together the many and diverse references to these national icons for the benefit of researchers, conservationists, students, schools and the interested public. We never imagined the project would lead to such a work of scholarship, such a labour of love. Stephanie, like others who embrace the cause rather than the job, has invested time and intellect far beyond what was ever expected, and provided us with this outstanding resource. I urge all users to read the short introduction and gain some of the flavour of Stephanie’s enthusiasm. Project Crimson would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Forest Research library staff, in particular Megan Gee, for their help and support throughout the duration of this project. Gordon Hosking Trustee, Project Crimson February 2000 INTRODUCTION: THE LIVING LIBRARY [The] world around us is a repository of information which we have only begun to delve into. Like any library, once parts are missing, it is incomplete but, unlike a library, once our books (in this instance biological species) are lost they cannot be replaced. - Catherine Wilson and David Given, Threatened Plants of New Zealand. ...right at their feet they [Wellingtonians] have one of the most wide-ranging and fascinating living textbooks of botany in the country. Well - selected pages anyway. Many of the pages were ripped out by zealous colonisers, and there are now some big gaps.

  • Habitat and Diet of Kakapo (Strigops Habroptilis) in the Esperance Valley, Fiordland, New Zealand
    37 Habitat and diet of kakapo (Strigops habroptilis) in the Esperance Valley, Fiordland, New Zealand IAN A.E. ATKINSON Abstract Vegetation in the Esperance Valley, Milford catchment, Fiordland, as 25 Wyndham Rd, Pinehaven, it was in February and March 1974, is described using quantitative data for part Upper Hutt, New Zealand. of the valley that included home ranges of two male kakapo (Strigops habroptilis).

MERTON scrub with short silver beech (Nothofagus menziesii) forest at its margins. The other Honorary Research Associate, Research, home range was 4 ha in area, sited on a very steep (42°) valley wall mantled with Development and Improvement Division, unconsolidated avalanche debris at 800-860 m altitude, faced NW and was covered Department of Conservation, by Blechnum capense fern - shrubland and short silver beech forest communities. At PO Box 10-420, Wellington, New Zealand that time, this valley differed from most other parts of Fiordland: although possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), stoats (Mustela erminea) and rats (Rattus spp.) were present, ungulates were absent or very localised. Results gave no indication that food was limiting kakapo numbers in the Esperance Valley and we conclude that, because of the extreme vulnerability of females and their eggs, nestlings and fledglings to introduced mammalian predators, stoats were the most probable primary cause of kakapo decline in Fiordland.

In New Zealand, it has been argued that bird pollination was relatively unimportant and bird- pollination failure was unlikely to threaten any New Zealand plants, whereas dispersal mutualisms were widespread and in some cases potentially at risk because of reliance on a single large frugivore, the kereru (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae). Work since 1989, however, has changed that assessment. Smaller individual fruits of most plant species can be dispersed by mid-sized birds such as tui (Prosthemadera novaezelandiae) because both fruits and birds vary in size within a species. Only one species (Beilschmiedia tarairi) has no individual fruits small enough for this to occur. Germination of 19 fleshy-fruited species, including most species with fruits >8 mm diameter, does not depend on birds removing the fruit pulp.

  • Diet and Impacts of Brushtail Possum Populations Across an Invasion Front in South Westland, New Zealand
    SWEETAPPLE, FRASER, KNIGHTBRIDGE: DIET AND IMPACTS OF POSSUMS 19 Diet and impacts of brushtail possum populations across an invasion front in South Westland, New Zealand P. J. Sweetapple1, K. W. Fraser1 and P. I. Knightbridge2 1Landcare Research, P.O. Box 69, Lincoln 8152, New Zealand (E-mail: [email protected]) 2Department of Conservation, Private Bag 701, Hokitika, New Zealand ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Impact of the irruptive fluctuation in abundance of brushtail possum populations since their initial colonisation was investigated in the forests of South Westland, New Zealand. Possum abundance, fecundity, and diet, the condition of common possum-palatable tree species, and the abundance of common forest birds were measured at three sites occupied by possums for c. 10, 20, and 30 years. Possum densities were highest at the site where possums had been present for c. 20 years. Possum fecundity was higher at the site they had recently colonised than at the two sites where they had been present for c. 20–30 years. Diet of possums where they had recently colonised was dominated by highly preferred foods (72% of total diet), whereas these same foods contributed just 36% of total diet at the site where possums had been present for more than two decades. Canopy condition of common possum-preferred trees was scored progressively lower in areas with increasing length of possum occupation, especially at the site where the possum population had apparently declined from its maximum density. Native forest bird abundance also declined with increasing length of possum occupation. The implications of these results for management are discussed.

In 2002, 24 chicks were raised on Codfish Island New Zealand. [email protected] (Whenua Hou) to increase the total population by 37% to 86 individuals. Data on hatching and fledging of kakapo chicks allowed comparisons to be made between GRAEME P. ELLIOTT males and females, and between broods of one and two chicks, in hatching weight, Research, Development & Improvement growth, weight at fledging, and age of fledging. There was no significant difference in Division, Department of Conservation, hatching weight between sexes or brood sizes but males were significantly heavier at Private Bag 5, Nelson, New Zealand 60 days old and at fledging. Chicks from broods of one grew more slowly and fledged earlier at lighter weights than chicks from broods of two. Early fledging of solitary MICK N. CLOUT chicks might be in response to a lack of mental and physical stimulation.
