“…S5). Under these conditions, the restoration strategy should focus on active management to promote mixed forests (Bravo et al 2019), active and passive strategies to promote biodiversity (Leverkus et al 2019) and the need to monitor regenerated species to decide on potential local changes in species adapted to the new climatic niches in the near future (Del Campo et al 2020).…”

“…Even-aged forest management and clearfell timber harvests have negative impacts on the quantity, quality and timing of stream flows (Segura et al, 2020). Clearfelling is also incompatible with maintaining continuous forest cover and increases the risk of mass wasting events by removing the primary physical structure (i.e.…”

“…In some cases, such as that described by Lima et al (1990), production-oriented plantations in drylands have significantly decreased water resource availability. In establishing and managing forest plantations in drylands, the primary objective should be to provide water services; wood production, biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration may occur as co-benefits, but forest plantations are most likely to be sustainable when designed to reduce soil erosion, regulate water fluxes and protect reservoirs and other infrastructure from siltation (del Campo et al, 2020).…”

“…Land use histories can dictate how landscapes will best retain its resilience (Slaton et al, 2019). For example, although it is generally assumed the dry areas will get dryer under the impacts of climate change, and that this drying will have negative consequences for the local biota, in some cases, these inhabitants of these dry landscapes are adapted to be resilient under changing conditions (Bishop-Taylor, Tulbure, & Broich, 2018;Del Campo et al, 2020). This is not to say that new stable states will not be forced on ecosystems under continued climate pressure, but promoting connectivity between remnant patches may not require as much expensive restoration as previously expected since latent patterns of regeneration may be present in the landscape (Berenguer, 2013).…”

“…The use of reference sites is still a crucial part of restoration but new challenges, such climate change, have forced that definition to change (Al-Qaddi, Vessella, Stephan, Al-Eisawi, & Schirone, 2017;Cai, Yang, Wang, & Xiao, 2014;Christmas et al, 2016). In particular, the impact of climate change may force out the use of reference sites as novel ecosystems become more common (Del Campo et al, 2020).…”

Modelling Endemic and Invasive Species' Biodiversity Corridors in the Southern North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand

<p>Habitat loss and invasive species threaten endemic species and the habitats they maintain. Landscape corridors or ecological corridors are strips of vegetation that provide an opportunity to preserve endemic populations by connecting habitats which may be too small on their own to sustain a population and/or by promoting exchange of individuals and their genes which can help maintain overall genetic diversity and population health. Corridor mapping can also improve our understanding of invasive predator pathways and may allow for more efficient control. Finally, corridors can be designed to contribute towards ecosystem services that may make their construction more appealing to landholders. However, restoration with the goal of improving connectivity for native species has not been well evaluated for its impacts on invasive species or ecosystem services. Agricultural regions provide an opportunity to coordinate corridors through restoration, as these regions often contain piecemeal strips of marginal land. In this study, connectivity for multiple species in the Greater Wellington region of New Zealand was evaluated using connectivity models via Linkage Mapper opensource software. I posed three questions: (1) What are the baseline corridors and relative connectivity for multiple species in the study region? (2) What is the relationship between endemic species corridors and those of invasive predators? (3) How does connectivity in the study region change following hypothetical stream restoration aimed at improving water quality? Current landscapes and future scenario landscapes were evaluated for their potential to provide corridors based on known and inferred behaviours of species with contrasting dispersal abilities, represented by ngahere gecko (Mokopirirakau “southern North Island”) rifleman/tītipounamu (Acanthisitta chloris), kākā (Nestor meridionalis), and common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). Corridors were successfully modelled in the landscape for all species. Ngahere gecko and tītipounamu exhibited limited presence of corridors that would enable them to traverse between areas of available and protected habitat. Kākā and brushtail possum showed extensive corridors that were concentrated along waterways but spanned the study region. The relationships between corridors for endemic species and invasive predators show there is a convergent spatial relationship between the two. Furthermore, following hypothetical restoration of streams within our modelling software specific responses by our study species were found. Ngahere gecko and tītipounamu showed improved connectivity throughout the region while kākā and brushtail possum had little change in connectivity under the stream restoration scenario. This knowledge may contribute towards more efficient predator control throughout the region as well as improved restoration design.</p>
