Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Tree density was about 250 trees per acre near sea level.
- Observation Tree density was 400 trees per acre at 1,000–1,300 ft.
- Observation Kamahi made up about half the total tree population.
- Observation Adult podocarps approximately equalled adult beeches at both altitudes.
- Observation At 1,000–1,300 ft, totara substantially replaced rimu.
- Observation At 1,000–1,300 ft, totara completely replaced miro.
- Observation Mountain beech constituted at least two-thirds of adult beech trees at both altitudes.
- Observation The remainder of adult beech trees were silver beech.
- Observation Rata was rare near sea level.
- Observation Rata was less important than beeches or podocarps at 1,000–1,300 ft.
- Observation Totara was smaller in diameter at 1,000–1,300 ft than near sea level.
- Observation Silver beech and kamahi were larger in diameter at 1,000–1,300 ft than near sea level.
- Observation At both elevations there were over 500 young trees per acre.
- Observation Excluding kamahi, young trees were predominantly podocarps near sea level.
- Observation Excluding kamahi, young trees were predominantly beeches at 1,000–1,300 ft.
- Observation There were approximately 3,250 shrubs per acre near sea level.
- Observation There were 4,500 shrubs per acre at 1,000–1,300 ft.
- Observation Coprosma spp. predominated among shrubs, with araliads next.
- Observation The authors inferred opposing podocarp–beech trends by elevation and increasing silver beech.
