Ecroyd1 and Eckehard G. Brockerhoff2 1 Ensis, Private Bag 3020, Rotorua, New Zealand Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) 2 Ensis, P.O. Box 29237, Christchurch, New Zealand ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The Canterbury Plains have lost most of their pre-Polynesian indigenous vegetation, primarily forest and shrubland. One of the few remaining areas is the 2.3 ha Eyrewell Scientific Reserve which consists mostly of low känuka (Kunzea ericoides) forest and a small area of grassland. We assessed the Reserve vegetation using a combination of plots and transect surveys at different times of the year between 2001–2003. For comparison with the Reserve vegetation we also assessed plots in an adjacent grazed känuka remnant, adjacent cultivated pasture and Eyrewell Forest, a pine plantation. Our study of the Eyrewell Reserve in 2001–2003 found that since an assessment of the Reserve in 1972, 28 indigenous species were no longer present but 14 indigenous species and 48 adventive species were newly recorded. The dramatic invasion of the Reserve is illustrated by the fact that 60% of the 118 species recorded in 2003 were adventives compared to 34% in 1972. Despite this invasion and the loss of indigenous species, Reserve plots still have more than twice as many species as plots in the adjacent pine plantation. The Reserve also included several species of high conservation value such as the “Chronically Threatened” Leptinella serrulata, and the “At Risk” Aciphylla subflabellata, Coprosma intertexta and Pterostylis tristis.

    3 a CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT for CHRISTCHURCH Colin D

    3 A CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT FOR CHRISTCHURCH Colin D. Meurk1 and David A. Norton2 Introduction To be 'living in changing times* is nothing new. But each new technological revolution brings an increasingly frantic pace of change. There has been a growing separation of decision-makers from the environmental consequences of their actions; there is a general alienation of people from the land, and there has been a corresponding quantum leap in environmental and social impacts. The sad and simple truth is that the huge advances in power and sophistication of our technology have not been matched by an equivalent advance in understanding and wise use of its immense power. From a natural history perspective the colonies of the European empires suffered their most dramatic changes compressed into just a few short centuries. In New Zealand over the past millenium, the Polynesians certainly left their mark on the avifauna in addition to burning the drier forests and shrublands. But this hardly compares with the biological convuolsions of the last century or so as European technology transformed just about all arable, grazable, burnable and millable land into exotic or degraded communities, regardless of their suitability for the new uses. Even today, 2 000 ha of scrub is burnt annually in North Canterbury alone. It is equally tragic, since the lessons from past mistakes are all too obvious, that there has persisted an ongoing, but barely discernible, attrition of those natural areas that survived the initial onslaught. Inevitably the greatest pressures have occurred in and around the major urban centres. The European settlers were primarily concerned with survival, development, and attempts to tame the unfamiliar countryside.

Modelling has indicated the current capacity of the Ashley River stopbanked system is approximately equivalent to the 2% AEP (50 year return period) flood event. Breakouts however, could occur in more frequent events. Stopbank breaches and outflows onto the floodplain could potentially occur anywhere along the stopbanks. Breakout scenarios onto the floodplain have been modelled for the 1%, 0.5% and 0.2% AEP (i.e. 100, 200 and 500 year return period) events at the most likely breakout locations. The modelling indicates significant flooding to large areas of land between the Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers. Kaiapoi and adjacent areas are predicted to be flooded to depths over 1 metres in the 0.2% AEP (500 year return period) event. The impact of future urbanisation in Kaiapoi has also been modelled. It is hoped the floodplain maps and associated depths will assist land use planning within the area and provide information on minimum floor levels for new dwellings located on the floodplain, where appropriate.

    MORPHOSTRUCTURAL and PALEO-SEISMIC ANALYSIS of FAULT INTERACTIONS in the OXFORD–CUST–ASHLEY FAULT SYSTEM, CANTERBURY a Thesi

    MORPHOSTRUCTURAL AND PALEO-SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF FAULT INTERACTIONS IN THE OXFORD–CUST–ASHLEY FAULT SYSTEM, CANTERBURY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geology in the University of Canterbury by Luke E. Mahon University of Canterbury July, 2015 Frontispiece View southwest from the highpoint of the western arm of the Cust Anticline showing the subtle geomorphic feature (arrow) that is documented as an active fault in this study. i Abstract This study investigates evidence for linkages and fault interactions centred on the Cust Anticline in Northwest Canterbury between Starvation Hill to the southwest and the Ashley and Loburn faults to the northeast. An integrated programme of geologic, geomorphic, paleo-seismic and geophysical analyses was undertaken owing to a lack of surface exposures and difficulty in distinguishing active tectonic features from fluvial and/or aeolian features across the low-relief Canterbury Plains. LiDAR analysis identified surface expression of several previously unrecognised active fault traces across the low-relief aggradation surfaces of the Canterbury Plains. Their presence is consistent with predictions of a fault relay exploiting the structural mesh across the region. This is characterised by interactions of northeast-striking contractional faults and a series of re- activating inherited Late Cretaceous normal faults, the latter now functioning as E–W-striking dextral transpressive faults. LiDAR also allowed for detailed analysis of the surface expression of individual faults and folds across the Cust Anticline contractional restraining bend, which is evolving as a pop-up structure within the newly established dextral shear system that is exploiting the inherited, now re-activated, basement fault zone.
