Management Impacts on Nutrient Fluxes in Beech-podocarp-hardwood Forests
Clearfelling and downhill, skyline-hauler extraction of pulpwood and sawlogs in beech-podocarp-hardwood (PB5) forest, followed by slash-burning, produced increased streamflow yields of N, P arid dissolved cations. Nutrient outputs in the first four months after treatment were from 1 to' 1.5 times the normal annual output. Yields of Na, Mg, Ca, and K were from 1 to 6 times the normal output; K o...
متن کاملShip rat demography and diet following possum control in a mixed podocarp–hardwood forest
Control of one pest species may permit increases in abundance of other pests, thereby reducing the overall net benefit from pest control. We provide evidence that control of introduced possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) may increase ship rat (Rattus rattus) abundance in some New Zealand native forests. Ship rat abundance in a podocarp–hardwood forest was assessed using simple interference indices ...
متن کاملNutritional Properties of Some Fruits Eaten by the Possum Trichosurus Vulpecula in a New Zealand Broadleaf – Podocarp Forest
Previous studies have shown fruits of native plants to be an important part of the diet of the possum (Trichosurus vulpecula Kerr) in the broadleaf-podocarp forest of Orongorongo Valley, New Zealand. Fruits from six species of native plants, abundant in the valley in late summer and autumn, 1979, were analysed physically and chemically and compared with the leaf-only portion of the possum diet....
متن کاملForest Patterns and Possum Densities within Podocarp / Mixed Hardwood Forests on Mt Bryan O'lynn, Westland
The podocarp/mixed hardwood forests on Mt Bryan O'Lynn, Central Westland, are described from 304 plots surveyed during 1975-77. Eight major plant associations are identified, using patterns of forest structure, physionomic dominance, diversity and distribution. Each association possesses distinct physiographic requirements, which ultimately results in a broad altitudinal stratification of the f...
متن کاملNutrient fluxes in litterfall of a secondary successional alluvial rain forest in Southern Brazil.
During forest succession, litterfall nutrient fluxes increase significantly. The higher inputs of organic matter and nutrients through litterfall affects positively soil fertility and the species composition, which are essential components in forest restoration and management programs. In the present study, the input of nutrients to the forest soil via litterfall components was estimated for tw...
