Waikato University Monitoring project – 19-20 September 2018
Over a couple of days in September Kate De Silva came and re-measured the four vegetation plots in our covenant and at Bushy Point. The research is under the Urban Research Programme – Bushy Point Restoration Sites – Waikato University - People, Cities & Nature (Restoring indigenous nature in urban environments) https://www.peoplecitiesnature.co.nz. There are plots throughout the country to study how light, microclimate, and understorey conditions change over the first 40 years of development in a restoration project. Six months of ground temperature was downloaded directly from an “ibutton” and other vegetation parameters were measured.
