Conservation of Riparian Forest Remnants, West Coast, New Zealand
Riparian forest is a priority for protection in New Zealand. Data are provided on the spatial extent and distribution of riparian forest and forest remnants within the West Coast region of New Zealand. Despite the West Coast having the bulk of New Zealand's riparian forest, such forests are under-represented in many of the region's Ecological Districts. Lack of other suitable soils meant that, where possible, floodplains were extensively developed for agriculture. Consequently riparian forest remnants within farmland are small and isolated. The implications of ecological processes and land-management practices for the conservation management of the riparian forest remnants are discussed, and three conservation priorities are identified.
