Content
Seven tagged sections deal with selective logging trials: high density podocarp forest (FRI), low density podocarp forest (Conservancy), Eucalypt plantings at high and lower altitude by Kakaho Rd, some with group podocarps with and without a Eucalypt nurse. Locality plans, correspondence on forest ecology.
Source
Pureora Forest Park, Tihoi Forest
Future Work
Visits by A E Beveridge to 2006. Tree mortality may be assessed together with podocarps planted or naturally regenerated in canopy gaps, over 30 years since these trials established.
Reference
Several papers published and reports by Herbert, Pardy.
General Note
30% logging left better forest structure than 60%. Planted totara, rimu, kahikatea grew well by roadsides until many were smashed by NZ Forest managers extracting large eucalypts (E. repans, E. delegatensis).
