 New Zealand High Country
The exhibit is a miniature recreation of Arthur's Pass on the South Island of New Zealand and was dedicated in 1993 by the New Zealand ambassador to the United States.
Because the Puget Sound climate is vastly different from New Zealand's, where rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year and winters are warmer, the WPA display from down under concentrates on plants from areas of alpine and subalpine scrub that are hardy here.
New Zealand is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, isolated from other large land masses.

 Chris and Annette's travel log of New Zealand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
New Zealand is approximately the size of California, with only a little over 3.5 million inhabitants, the majority of whom live in the North Island's major metropolitan centers.
It is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise and New Zealander's (or 'Kiwi's' as they're called, nicknamed after their national emblem and indigenous, flightless, nocturnal bird) typically enjoy the rugged outdoor life and utilize their country's wonderful infrastructure of hiking and backpacking facilities.
New Zealand is scenically magnificent, with diverse landscapes that include verdant mountains and deep fiords, the Southern Alps, orchards, vineyards, tussock and grassland, active geothermal and volcanic regions, incredible crystal clear rivers and lakes, golden sand beaches and miles of rugged coastline.

Above 1000 metres the totara, wineberry, fuschias, rata and kaikomako are gradually left behind, to be replaced by subalpine scrub.
Many New Zealanders love their native forests with a passion and have an equally passionate aversion to forests of introduced species.
Found only in New Zealand and in north-eastern Australia, mature kauris - sometimes as old as 1500 years - can reach a height of 36 metres with a diameter of over three metres for the first 30 metres, making them amongst the largest trees in terms of wood volume in the world.

 Native Lowland Forests
Most of New Zealand’s lowland forests were cleared for farming when people arrived in New Zealand.
Temperature and rainfall changes what grows in lowland forests around New Zealand, for example, in the far north kauri and kumarahou are found in lowland forests because they need warmer climates, whereas beech trees can be found in lowland forests with colder climates.
New Zealand's podocarp/broadleaf forest has some similarities with tropical rainforests, they both have many hanging vines and perching plants and they both have dense layering.

 ★ New Zealand Kakapo Bird Information Article
Prehistorically, the ancestral Kakapo migrated to the islands of New Zealand and, in the absence of mammalian predators, it lost the ability to fly.
Each male’s bowls are connected by a network of trails or tracks (in the New Zealand idiom) which may extend 50 m along a ridge or 20 m in diameter around a hilltop.
Interestingly, the only mammals native to New Zealand are three species of small bats, and it seems that birds have adapted to fill the niches that mammals occupy in other parts of the world.

 Orongorongo Forest Study   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The only mammals New Zealand forest fed until about 150 years ago was a few bats, and the polynesian rat which did not thrive.
New Zealand forests have supported from 17kg to peaks of 105kg of possums per hectare, but the average in the well studied Orongorongo Forest is believed to be about 25kg.
Either way in the last 150 years the New Zealand forest has gone from feeding a very small weight of mammals to feeding maybe as much as 50 times more.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Westland temperate forests (AA0414)
Lining the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island, the Westland Temperate Forest ecoregion is one of the best examples in the world of a dynamic mountain landscape.
Freshwater wetlands once covered extensive areas of New Zealand, but in the last 150 years 90 percent of them have been destroyed (Environment Waikato 1999) so unmodified wetlands like those in Westland are a haven for a number of rare plants and animals.
However, the diversity of alpine and subalpine invertebrates is high, with 60 percent of New Zealand’s known species present, including half of New Zealand’s 1,500 moths.

 Reintroduction Projects in New Zealand
New Zealand falcons are still found on the mainland, but habitat loss, human disturbance at nests and illegal persecution threatens this endemic species.
A new captive-breeding centre was built in Twizel in 1986, and the birds from Mt Bruce were transferred to it.
New Zealand forest ecosystems typically feature a number of weta species and this reintroduction restored one of the more common elements to the invertebrate fauna to Korapuki (the species is widespread over the northern half of the North Island, including other offshore islands).

Aphids were chosen to represent the main groups in New Zealand: tribe Macrosiphini comprising introduced aphids and tribe Aphidini and subfamily Drepanosiphinae comprising introduced and native aphids.
The ‘wineberry aphid’ was severely parasitised and although parasitoid larval development was initially retarded, the speed of development to the adult stage and the number of adults produced was similar to that found in macrosiphine hosts.

 Kereru (New Zealand Native Pigeon)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The New Zealand native pigeon or kereru is a large bird with greyish green feathers on its back and head, and a smart white vest.
Berries are its favourite food and trees such as the karaka, taraire, tawa, miro and others depend on the kereru to carry their seeds to new areas of forest.
Tree lucerne is useful in the short-term as it flowers prolifically in winter and grows quickly; for a long-term solution, plant miro, titoki, tawa, fuchsia, kowhai, five-finger, pate, supplejack, bush lawyer, pigeonwood, taraire, puriri and wineberry.

 Planting for New Zealand Native Birds
There is a scarcity of native bird-life in many of New Zealand's populated and developed areas, both town and country.
Although we cannot return New Zealand to its original state, the fact that native birds are seen in urban areas shows that some species can live in situations differing greatly from their original habitats.
The following list of native birds are still found in and around cities and towns, and although numbers have dwindled over the years, access to their favourite foods in gardens, reserves and other areas planted with suitable trees and shrubs could see their numbers increase.

 Seasonal and temperature dependence of photosynthesis and respiration for two co-occurring broad-leaved tree species ...
We measured the seasonal and temperature responses of leaf photosynthesis and respiration of two co-occurring native New Zealand tree species with contrasting leaf phenology: winter-deciduous fuchsia (Fuchsia excorticata J. Forst and G. Forst) and annual evergreen wineberry (Aristotelia serrata J. Forst and G. Forst).
were 30% lower in wineberry leaves than in fuchsia leaves on average, although the difference ranged from 15% in summer leaves to 39% in autumn leaves.
These results show that rates of photosynthesis are higher in winter-deciduous fuchsia than in annual evergreen wineberry.

Abstract Winter leaf-loss of wineberry (Aristotelia serrata) was measured at a range of sites in the South Island of New Zealand in early spring to investigate the temperature dependence of deciduousness in this species.
Contrary to a widely held view, there was no temperature dependence of leaf loss in wineberry at the whole-tree scale.
