The indigenous forest on Mt Karioi was surveyed in 1974-75 and the data examined using muitivariate techniques. These revealed a number ofrecognisablc communities. Altitude and aspect were the main environmental factors determining plant distribution. An abrupt change in tloristic composition at about 550 m elevation was attributed to fog. The regeneration of many tree species was threatened by a high population of goats. Some floristic differences were also noted between Mt Karioi and other mountains 111 the Waikato region.

“…Supplementary data were collected in 1986 to overcome errors identified in the earlier tree basal area assessment (Franklin et al 1965;Franklin 1967;Mark & Esler 1970). We made only brief qualitative descriptions of the two debris-fan sites since collapse of canopy trees, particularly of Aristotelia serrata (wineberry), made detailed restudy impractical.…”

Primary succession to montanerain forest on the bare slip faces of landslides is described from three variously aged slides with plot and plotless data, 24 years after a previous study, and is related to adjacent mature forest. Over a 15-102 yr period striking successional changes occurred in both vegetation and flora.The dominant pioneer, Leptospermum scoparium, persists with decreasing importance in the canopy beyond a century, with regeneration falling completely from the seventh decade. Although some species persist throughout the succession and into the mature forest most characterise particular stages and several were recorded only in the mature forest. Among the 90 vascular plant taxa recorded, richness was variable (38-46 taxa) throughout the seral stages and greatest (52) in the mature forest.A total of 118 bryophyte taxa and 26 lichens were recorded from the succession. Bryophyte richness varied from 54 to 66 taxa, the highest being recorded from late seral (102 yr) forest. Ten to 15 species of lichen were recorded per sere with the greatest number in the youngest (39 yr) stage.Tree basal area increased while that of smalltrees declined after 40 yr. Tree and small-tree densities generally declined after c. 70 yr to values similar to those in the mature forest. Densities of shrubs, subshrubs, and herbs showed no consistent trends with time.The successional pattern can be explained by the facilitation (relay floristics, or autogenic) model. It also conforms with the recently proposed resourceratio model although more data are needed for its substantiation.
