1 A peek down under: structural root architecture of some New Zealand native plants Chris Phillips Mike Marden, Jagath Ekanayake & Alex Watson
2 Disclaimer We are not botanists! We are not plant ecologists! We are on the edge! We play in the dirt! We are statistically challenged!
3 Wadda ya know?
4 In this talk. Context 3 strands What we ve done 2 trials How we do it What we ve found How we use the information Wrap up
5 Context 1 hillslope stability Plantation forests for erosion control Pinus radiata and other exotics 1980 s s to 1990 s Effectiveness, densities, harvesting etc
6 Context 1 hillslope stability
7 Context 1 hillslope stability
8 Context 1 hillslope stability
9 Context 2 river bank stabilisation Off the hills and into the rivers ICM Riparian restoration/rehabilitation efforts Natives vs exotics, Ecology vs function Performance, build the K base
10 Context 2 river bank stabilisation
11 Context 3 Carbon & SLM MAF Govt policies - convergence Climate change mitigation & Sustainable land management (SLM) >> HCE What to use, how effective, how much C, what rate, where, management etc
12 The Big Question? Can our New Zealand native plants perform E & SC functions as well as introduced plants? In geotechnical terms, how do we quantify the benefits of vegetation to soil stabilisation? With roots Without roots Shear displacement
13 What we ve been doing Exotic species 2 native trials 1 MSc. on Cordyline
14 What we ve been doing - natives Riparian plant trial Common name Karamu Ribbonwood Kowhai Lemonwood Kohuhu Lacebark Mapou Fivefinger Cabbage tree Rewarewa Manuka Tutu Podocarp trial Common name Kauri Rimu Kahikatea Miro Totara Matai Puriri Titoki Sedge grass NZ Mountain flax Toe toe Cabbage trees Marden, Rowan, Phillips (2007; 2005) Phillips & Marden (2006) Still in progress Czernin (2002) Czernin & Phillips (2005)

37 How we use it Knowledge delivery
38 Watson & Tombleson (2004) How we use it management Planting types radiata pine 3 yr old
39 How we use it Allometry Cabbage tree root depth Rooting depth (cm) y = x r 2 = Gisborne plant trial 11 yr Mean root collar diameter (cm)
40 How we use it relative root reinforcement Window of vulnerability 1. Kanuka spha 2. Radiata 1250 spha 3. Radiata 800 spha 4. Radiata 500 spha Watson, Phillips, Marden (1999)
41 How we use it Models Root site occupancy 100% root site occupancy
42 How we use it Models Root site occupancy What about these bits? 100% root site occupancy
43 5 yr Poplars? Cabbage tree? 7 yr? 4 yr 8 yr 25 yr Czernin & Phillips (2005) Totara 9.5 yr?? McIvor et al (2007) 4 yr Marden & Phillips (unpub.)
44 How we use it root site occupancy model Effective root spread radius 100%?? Site occupancy 0% Mean maximum root length radius Root reinforcement index (RFI) = Root surface area Root spread area
45 Effective root spread measured & predicted using model equation Effective Root Spread distance from stump (cm) Time (years) b y = a x c exp( x) 5-Finger 5-Finger Cabage_Tree Cabage tree Karamau Karamau Kohuh Kohuhu Kowhai Kowhai Lacebark Lacebark Lemonwood Lemonwood manuka Manuka Mapou Mapou Rewarewa Rewarewa Ribbonwood Ribbonwood Tutu
46 How we use it root site occupancy & density Site occupancy (%) Site occupancy (%) for planting density 1m x 1m 5-Finger Cabage tree Karamau Kohuhu Kowhai Lacebark Lemonwood Rewarewa Ribbonwood Tutu Mapou Time (years)
47 How we use it root site occupancy & density Site occupancy (%) for planting density 2m x 2m Site occupancy (%) Finger Cabage tree Karamau Kohuhu Kowhai Lacebark Lemonwood Rewarewa Ribbonwood Tutu Time (years)
48 How we use it Visualisation Avondale Stream, existing channel, May 2004
49 Avondale Stream, Carex added
50 Avondale Stream, Juncus added
51 Avondale Stream, native trees added
52 Existing channel has little in-stream cover
53 Riparian grasses provide cover & spawning habitat
54 Cabbage trees suitable above the wetland grasses
55 Tree ferns also suitable above wetland grasses
56 Chockie fish time What native had the greatest tensile root strength? What do we call the gadget we use to expose the root systems of plants? What s so special about the root systems of cabbage trees? Fivefinger
57 Wrap up We know more than we did before Hard won data Natives can grow quickly Maybe need to look more at function Opportunities for further research Optimisation for site reinforcement Carbon modelling.. Modelling in general
