Tuatara: Volume 32, April 1993

Fig. 2. On the same type of country as Fig. 1, Pinus radiata has grown here for 40 years. On the Taupo Pumice soils, with a high moisture retention capacity, the pines have further ameliorated the soil. Protection from fire and frost, along with this soil amelioration induced by the pine, have allowed the development of a tall indigenous understorey up to 8m high, beneath the pines. They are up to 30m high, with diameters close to 1 m. Tokoroa forests, 1976, B. Bay
