SUMMARY Ngamatea Swamp, Waiouru, has been severely modified by fire, grazing, drain excavation and other factors. A survey of the wetland's vegetation and wildlife in September 1988 showed that parts of the area still have important natural features which it would be possible to retain, or even enhance, with appropriate management. An environmental impact assessment made in 1978, before drains were excavated, did not identify the significant vegetation types and plant species which are still present.

  • A Revised Classification of the North Island Indigenous Forests
    A REVISED CLASSIFICATION OF THE NORTH ISLAND INDIGENOUS FORESTS Abstract A provisional classification of the indigenous forests of the North Island, published in this journal in 1957, has been re- vised. The main change is the addition of many types uecog- nised during later forest survey of lzitherto poorly known YE- mote forests; the total number of mappable types has been rather more than trebled. The grouping of types into broad classes has been slightly rearranged. A type is now determined purely by the specific association of trees 30 cm or more dbh in hzgh forest (15 m or more canopy height), and 10 to 30 cm dbh in low forest. THE NEED FOR REVISION The provisional classification of North Island indigenous forests by McKelvey and Nicholls (1957) was mainly a correla- tioill of the manifold forest type schemes of the North Island district units of the National Forest Survey of 1946-1955. though data obtained in the North Auckland forests in the first year of the 1956-1969 Ecological Survey were also used (Masters et al., 1957; New Zealand Forest Service, 1957; Mc- Kelvey and Nicholls, 1959). In that classification the volumetric criteria of the National Forest Survey were dis- regarded and forest types were recognised by the presence and relative abundance of physiognomically prominent trees regarded as determining the productive and protective quali- ties of the forest. At that time, the compo~sitionof about one- third of the forests was reasonably well known, but knowledge of the remainder, mainly in the more remote hill country and above the lower slopes of the main ranges, was still very sketchy.

  • Yellow-Brown Loams
    SOIL GROUPS OF NEW ZEALAND Part 6 YELLOW-BROWN LOAMS New Zealand Society of Soil Science 1982 SOIL GROUPS OF NEW ZEALAND PART 6 YELLOW-BROWN LOAMS Edited by V.E. Neall NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY OF SOIL SCIENCE 1982 . ' Bibliographic Reference: Neall, V.E. (Ed.) 1982: Soil Groups of New Zealand. Part 6, Yellow-brown loams. New Zealand Society of Soil Science, Wellington, New Zealand. 114p. PREFACE Typing:. N.C. McLean, T.J. Roach The yellow-brown loams are to the dairy industry in the North Island what the Draughtmg: C.B. l>owell clover plant is to New Zealand's pastoral farming. Today, these soils also form the basis of our kiwifruit industry in the Bay of Plenty and of a host of new horticultural enterprises in addition to traditional market gardening uses, such as in south Auckland and Ohakune. Yellow-brown loams occupy about 1.5 million ha or about 15% of the North Island. They are one of the major natural resources of New Zealand and increasingly they will become a cornerstone of our food production industry and export earnings. In this, the sixth volume of Soil Groups of New Zealand, the New Zealand Society of Soil Science has attempted to draw attention to the uniqueness of the yellow-brown loams and the special properties which they display. This volume comes at a time when global interest in such groups of soils is widespread and This volume has been compiled from both published readily complements the recently published book "Soils with Variable Charge", and unpublished information. Authors must be prepared for the International Conference held in New Zealand in February, 1981, consulted before papers are cited in other on this subject.

  • Black Americans and Te Aroha Mining
    BLACK AMERICANS AND TE AROHA MINING Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 131 Revised on September 7, 2017 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 BLACK AMERICANS AND TE AROHA MINING Abstract: Although no black Americans lived in the Te Aroha district, several, including some miners, lived in Hauraki and elsewhere in New Zealand. In general, blacks were stereotyped as figures of fun (as were the Irish often), but those who were known personally were treated differently. Visiting black American singers were admired for their vocal skills, and some settled in the colony, notably Robert Bradford Williams, who became mayor of the Wellington borough of Onslow. This paper focuses on three very different men peripherally involved in mining in the Te Aroha district. About the first, Alexander Jackson, a carter, little is known apart from his marital problems. The second, William La Grenade Mitchell, was an Auckland accountant and land agent and was well respected, being a prominent Mason. He quickly lost this respect when forced to flee to Australia, whereupon his complicated financial and marital circumstances became public knowledge. About the third man, Edward Ralph Martin (who claimed an exotic ethnic background), a great deal is known because of his incessant efforts to raise money, including from the government, for his enthusiastic but incompetent prospecting. Calling himself a ‘professor’ of music, in his efforts to make money he was involved in several frauds, although there may have been an element of self-delusion about the prospecting skills claimed.
