Join us for our October night talk where PhD students Hannah Rogers and Moari West will give us an update on their research. Hannah will talk about:
Tree ferns and epiphytes in urban ecosystems
Tree ferns and epiphytes are ubiquitous in New Zealand’s temperate rainforest, but there is limited knowledge of their role in urban ecosystems. Hannah's talk will cover two studies: one examining the influence of tree ferns on urban vascular plant communities and another investigating how microclimate (i.e., relative humidity and temperature) influences epiphyte-host relationships.
Moari will talk about:
Water Use Characteristics of Planted Indigenous and Exotic Tree Species.
Interest is growing in utilising native trees in a range of afforestation projects across New Zealand. However, little is known about the potential impact of native species on catchment hydrology, or how their effects might differ in comparison to more commonly planted exotic plantation species. Moari's talk will include the preliminary water use and growth results from five indigenous (Fuscospora fusca, F. solandri, Lophozonia menziesii, Prumnopitys taxifolia, and Podocarpus totara), and three exotic (Eucalyptus fastigata, Pinus radiata, and Sequoia sempervirens) tree species.
See you there :)
