  • The Tasman District Council
    Geoff Walls Philip Simpson TASMAN DISTRICT BIODIVERSITY OVERVIEW REVIEW OF INDIGENOUS ECOSYSTEMS ON PRIVATE LAND IN TASMAN DISTRICT AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROTECTION TECHNICAL REPORT FOR THE TASMAN DISTRICT COUNCIL Geoff Walls, Ecologist Philip Simpson, Ecologist Taramoa Limited Uruwhenua Botanicals Christchurch, New Zealand Golden Bay, New Zealand March 2004 Cover illustration: A typical landscape of Tasman District lowlands. Declining podocarp and beech treeland features on the agricultural alluvial floodplain. Willows line the river. Beech forest remains on the steeper hill-slope, while kanuka (and wilding pines) regenerates on former hill country farmland, with adjacent plantation forestry. 2 SUMMARY 1. Using published and unpublished information, discussion with experts and our own local knowledge, the authors present an overview of the protection status of all major ecosystems in each Ecological District within the Tasman District. 2. The Tasman District is large, complex and special in terms of indigenous biodiversity. Although much is contained in protected areas, there are ecological and biogeographical gaps in the protected area network, mostly in the lowlands. Many valuable opportunities for conservation of indigenous biodiversity therefore remain on private land in the district. 3. Over 62% of the land area of the district is formally protected land, but there are several ecological districts with less than 40% of their areas formally protected, namely Motueka, Moutere, Golden Bay and Reefton. 4. For each ecological district a standard set of vegetation types is assessed in terms of their original extent, their remaining extent and the proportion that is formally protected. This provides an estimate of the proportion remaining that is unprotected and is the basis of the ranking of each district and ecosystem.

  • Red Deer in the Northern South Island Region : Their Early Impact
    RED DEER IN THE NORTHERN SOUTH ISLAND REGION : THEIR EARLY IMPACT SYNOPSIS The impact of red deer on farm, forest and high coztntvy during the peviod 1870-1940 in the Nelson region is outlined. Very high numbers of deer built up and caused extensivk davz- age to crops, plantations and pasture. Some examples of dam- age to indigenous vegetation are recorded. Initially the most palatable species were taken, but latev marked changes became evident in the general composition and stvucture of man? vegetatio~types. INTRODUCTION In the early years of establishment, the red deer introduced in New Zealand were regarded by settlers as an asset to the community. The prospects for hunting, as well as the senti- mental, social and aesthetic attributes of the red deer were equally well recognized. Now, after 100 years of red deer occupation, and in the aftermath of serious over-population and profound effects upon habitat, new and different emphases are being placed on these animals. Despite the initial unani- mous appreciation of red deer, early reports of damage to crops soon engendered changes to the benevolent attitude. Red deer were released at Nelson City in 1861. The popula- tion increased rapidly and by the late 1870s deer had become locally numerous. About that time the first slight deer dam- age to crops was noted. For many years it was possible to keep damage to a minimum by using dogs to disperse animals trespassing on to the farmlands. By 1900, however, deer had increased to large populations in the Nelson-Waimea region. Large tracts of land had become overgrazed and an increased incidence of deer movement on to farmland, especially in winter, resulted in an upsurge of damage to crops and planta- tions.

  • NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL of FORESTRY SCIENCE New Zealand Forest Service, Forest Research Institute, Rotorua
    NZ ISSN 0048-0134 NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF FORESTRY SCIENCE New Zealand Forest Service, Forest Research Institute, Rotorua Editor: J. B. Lowry VOLUME 5 FEBRUARY 1976 NUMBER 3 ERUPTION, DETERIORATION AND DECLINE OF THE NELSON RED DEER HERD C M. H. CLARKE Forest Research Institute, New Zealand Forest Service, Rangiora (Received for publication 3 April 1975) ABSTRACT . Data are presented on population increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer during the period 1900-1960, throughout the northern South Island region. Densities are mapped at decade intervals between 1910 and 1950. Popula­ tion numbers increased rapidly after liberation in 1861; highest densities occurred between 1925 and 1940. Population peaks varied from 3-13 years in duration 10-30 years after colonisation and were primarily influenced by food supplies and speed of population increase in the different regions. Depletion of food supplies by deer is proposed as the reason for general physical deterioration of populations during the peak eruptive period. Decline of food supplies and associated population stress, coupled with harsh winter weather (especially in 1928-31 and 1939-42) resulted in overall herd decline. INTRODUCTION The liberations and dispersal of red deer {Cervus elaphus L.) throughout the northern South Island have been described in earlier papers (Clarke, 1971, 1973). In this paper patterns of increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer populations during the period 1900-1960 are examined throughout the northern South Island districts. Although several brief accounts of the Nelson red deer herd were published during the 1920's (Thomson, 1922; Forbes, 1924; Donne, 1924), the only recent papers are N.Z.

  • AVO Principles, Processing and Inversion
    AVO principles, processing and inversion AVO principles, processing and inversion Hong Feng and John C. Bancroft ABSTRACT In this paper, we will review the basic principles of AVO and introduce some amplitude preserving algorithms. Seismic data processing sequences for AVO analysis and some algorithms for AVO inversion will be discussed. Topics related to AVO, such as rock physics, AVO modeling, AVO interpretation, and AVO pitfalls are beyond the scope of this report. INTRODUCTION The AVO (amplitude variation with offset) technique assesses variations in seismic reflection amplitude with changes in distance between shot points and receivers. AVO analysis allows geophysicists to better assess reservoir rock properties, including porosity, density, lithology and fluid content. Around 1900, Knott and Zoeppritz developed the theoretical work necessary for AVO theory (Knott, 1899; Zoeppritz, 1919), given the P-wave and S-wave velocities along with the densities of the two bounding media. They developed equations for plane-wave reflection amplitudes as a function of incident angle. Bortfeld (1961) simplified Zoeppritz’s equation, making it easier to understand how reflection amplitudes depend on incident angle and physical parameters. Koefoed (1955) described the relationship of AVO to change in Poisson’s ratio across a boundary. Koefoed’s results were based on the exact Zoeppritz equation. The conclusions drawn by Koefoed are the basis of today’s AVO interpretation. Rosa (1976) and Shuey (1985) did breakthrough work related to predicting lithology from AVO, inspired by Koefoed’s article. Ostrander (1982) illustrated the interpretation benefits of AVO with field data, accelerating the second era of amplitude interpretation. Allen and Peddy (1993) collected seismic data, well information, and interpretation from the Gulf Coast of Texas and published a practical look at AVO that documented not only successes but also the interpretational pitfalls learned from dry holes.

  • Feasibility of Multi-Component Seismic for Mineral Exploration
    Western Australian School of Mines: Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering Feasibility of Multi-component Seismic for Mineral Exploration Pouya Ahmadi This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University December 2018 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material, which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: …………………………07/12/2018 To my wife, parents and sister. iii Abstract The mineral industry traditionally uses potential field and electrical geophysical methods to explore for subsurface mineral deposits. These methods are very effective when exploring for shallow targets. As shallow deposits are now largely depleted, alternative technologies need to be introduced to discover deeper targets or to extend known resources deeper. Only the seismic reflection method can reach the desired depths as well as provide the high-definition images of the subsurface that are required. Conventional seismic reflection methods make use of only one component (vertical) of the wave field (P-wave) which is very effective in resolving complex structural shapes but less so for rock characterisation. The proposition of this work is that the utilisation of the full vector field (3 component seismic data (3C)) could provide additional information that will help in rock identification, classification and detection of subtle structures, alteration and lithological boundaries that are of crucial importance for mineral exploration. Shear wave splitting, polarisation changes and velocity differences between polarised modes have at present undefined potential in resolving lithological changes, internal composition of shear zones, subtle faults and fractured zones.

  • Mountains of New Zealand a Listing Based on Topographical Merit
    Mountains of New Zealand A listing based on topographical merit Mountains are the beginning and end of all natural scenery John Ruskin 1819-1900 © New Zealand Alpine Club 2005 This may be reproduced for non-commercial use. This edition September 2005. Electronic copies are available in pdf format at www.alpineclub.org.nz. Comments, suggestions and corrections are welcome. Please send them to [email protected]. Introduction “How many mountains are there in New Zealand?” is a question to which there will never be a definitive answer, but it is hoped that these listings stimulate conversation and debate, and suggest more than a few challenges for those willing to take them up. The listings in these pages set out all those ‘mountains’ in New Zealand that meet two simple tests: firstly, that they reach an altitude of 1400 metres or more; and secondly, that they are at least 300 metres above the lowest saddle between them and the adjacent ‘mountain’. The first test was selected as the lowest rounded amount that would exclude all peaks that do not extend above the bush line. In the event two peaks in the Raukumara Range defy this assumption. The second test was chosen to ensure that the mountains included are commandingly higher than their environs and are clearly separate mountains and not subsidiary peaks. 300 metres of re-ascent is a demanding test in this regard. The result is a list of 856 mountains: more than a life time’s challenge for anybody! 35 of these are in the North Island and 821 in the South Island.
