Abstract: Tiritiri Matangi Island (‘Tiri’) in the Hauraki Gulf of the northern North Island of New Zealand was deforested, pastorally farmed, and then farming was abandoned in 1972. This history is typical of many northern New Zealand islands. The island’s modern history is less typical; since 1984 it has been the focus of a major restoration project involving thousands of volunteers. No original forest remains, but grazed secondary forest in a few valley bottoms covered about 20% of the island when farming was abandoned. Tiri’s wild vascular flora was recorded in the 1900s and again in the 1970s. From 2006–2010 we collated all past records, herbarium vouchers, and surveyed the island to produce an updated wild flora. Our results increase the known pre-1978 flora by 31% (adding 121 species, varieties and hybrids). A further six species are listed as known only from the seed rain; 32 species as planted only; and one previous wild record is rejected. These last three decades have seen major changes on the island: the eradication of the exotic seed predator Pacific rat, Rattus exulans, in 1993; the planting of about 280,000 native trees and shrubs during 1984–94 as part of a major restoration project along with a massive increase in human visitation; and the successful translocation of 11 native bird species and three native reptile species. More than two-thirds of the additions to the flora are exotic species, and over half of these are being controlled because of their weedy nature. The 32,000 humans who visit Tiri each year are suspected to be the main vectors of the new exotic plant species added to the flora. The recent planted forest, which covers 64% of the island, has transformed most of the former pasture and bracken fern cover; many of the exotic herbs of open areas are surviving in anthropogenic habitats (mown tracks and lawns); however, 75 species recorded during 1905–1977 appear to have become extinct. We recommend adoption of tighter quarantine requirements, control of more weed species, removal of hybrid ngaio and certain native species, more regular plant surveys, specific rare herb management, and promotion of the Hauraki Gulf threatened flora. We conclude by predicting that over the next 20 years there will be an increase in bird-dispersed seed, increase in seabird guano habitat, few new native tree species, and a continued increase in the proportion of shade-tolerant trees.

Introduction

Changing land use of islands directly alters their vegetation and flora (Hannus & von Numers 2010). Compared with most other islands worldwide, human modifications to New Zealand islands are very recent (< 800 years; Wilmhurst et al. 2008). Furthermore, compared with many islands worldwide, many New Zealand islands have had repeated visits by botanists within the post-colonial period (c.1800 to present) so we are in a good position to identify trends in how New Zealand island floras alter with changes in land use. Most northern New Zealand islands have been considerably altered by Māori and European settlement, and successional pathways following deforestation and agriculture to secondary forest cover and loss of seabirds have been documented (Esler 1967, 1978a,b, 1980, 2004; Atkinson 2004; Bellingham et al. 2010a). Northern New Zealand islands that supported warm temperate coastal forest were deforested by Māori, who usually also introduced the Pacific rat (kiore; Rattus exulans), a seed and fauna predator. Then in European colonial times, many islands were converted to pastoral farming, with introduced pasture plants and exotic mammals. When pastoral farming became uneconomic, agriculture was abandoned and secondary succession from a mixture of native and exotic species usually occurred. In

general, successions back to woody cover usually cause a reduction in the herbaceous species (Bellingham et al. 2010b; Hannus & von Numers 2010).

Tiritiri Matangi Island (hereafter referred to by the local name ‘Tiri’) in many ways is quite a typical northern New Zealand island: deforested, farmed, and then abandoned. However, atypical features include assisted restoration, with widespread planting of native shrubs and trees by volunteers (a novelty in New Zealand when it began in 1984), fairly early eradication of the seed predator (Pacific rat) in 1993, and an explicit aim of getting a dispersal and pollinator community (at least of birds) re-established on the island (Rimmer 2004; Craig & Vesely 2007; Galbraith 2009).

By New Zealand standards Tiri has had a long period of Māori then European occupation and over 100 years of pastoral farming which ended in 1972. By that time most of the vegetation was reduced to grassland and bracken fern (Esler 1978b; Rimmer 2004: incl. photos p.18 & 79). Because of the slow natural regeneration in the dense grassland and bracken (West 1980a,b, pers. comm.; Cashmore 1995) and the desire for forest habitat for selected fauna, planting a native forest was planned in the late 1970s and promoted in the early 1980s (Drey 1982; Hawley 1997). Most of the seed was sourced, germinated and propagated on the island. The resulting

seedlings were planted out by thousands of volunteers of all ages – marking the beginning, in 1984, of New Zealand’s most successful revegetation project involving the public (Mitchell 1985; Rimmer 2004). During 1984–1994 about 280,000 tree and shrub species were planted out as part of a revegetation programme, covering 64% of the island (Fig. 1). Red-crowned parakeets had been released earlier, in 1973. Pacific rats were eradicated in 1993 and between 1984 and 2009 eleven terrestrial native bird species and three reptile species were introduced (Galbraith 2009). The island’s restoration programme has been greatly assisted by the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi; a large volunteer group founded in 1988 to further the aims of Tiri habitat restoration and species translocation projects (http://www.tiritirimatangi.org.nz/).

Esler (1978b: p.214) predicted some of the consequences of agricultural abandonment and secondary succession for the future flora of Tiri. These included:1. “Exotic plants will decline very markedly because nearly

all are plants of open country.”2. “Brush wattle [Paraserianthes lophantha] is a prominent

feature of Wattle Creek [Valley]…native trees and shrubs will curb its spread and eventually replace it.”

3. “Palatable species will play an increasing role in successions as some of the unpalatables decline.”

In 1980, Tiri was declared an open sanctuary, meaning access by the public was permitted via commercial ferry or their own boats. Tiri receives 32,000 visitors annually. This popularity

has helped to raise the profile of the conservation programme and brought some funding, but it also presents a range of management challenges. One likely outcome of these high visitation rates is the influx of propagules of exotic plants on the footwear and equipment of visitors. Biosecurity protocols for the island includes notices at the two ferry departure points regarding checking packs, clothing and boots to minimise risk of unwanted introductions (pests, seeds, soil, etc), and there is usually a volunteer assigned to politely remind people before they embark. There are brushes for cleaning footwear on the wharf prior to departure and also on the ferries, and public notices via the public address system on the ferry. Footwear brushes are also situated at the end of the Tiri wharf and the ranger reinforces the message again when welcoming visitors to the island. There are also notices at the back of the main beach and on the wharf for visitors arriving by private boats or kayaks but these are focused on animal stowaways, not plant propagules. Despite these measures, propagules still reach Tiri, resulting in an increase in the richness and abundance of non-native plants, as has occurred on coral cays in Great Barrier Reef with high visitation rates (Chaloupka & Domm 1986).

The first aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive current checklist of the flora of Tiri and then to examine changes in the flora over time by analysing the species richness (native and exotic) and estimates of abundance. Secondly, we assess whether exotic plant species richness and abundance has increased over time, as could be expected with high visitation rates. Thirdly, we discuss whether the lack of seabird management and subsequent low seabird numbers may have resulted in a scarcity of expected guano-loving plants on Tiri. Finally we make recommendations and predictions regarding the future flora of Tiri.

Study siteTiri is 197 ha (Taylor 1989) and lies 3.5 km off the Whangaparaoa Peninsula on the north-eastern coast of the Auckland region, in the Hauraki Gulf of northern New Zealand (Fig. 1). The island’s centre is at 36° 36' 6" S and 174° 53' 23" E. The island is a long-oval shape and measures about 2.7 km × 0.7 km. The geology comprises eroded ancient greywacke rocks (Jurassic–Triassic) with a thin cap of younger Waitemata Sandstone (Miocene) overlying it (Sporli & McAlister 1995). Its highest point is roughly midway along the central ridge at c. 90 m asl and the island reaches 72 m asl at its southern end (where the historical lighthouse is situated). The main backbone of Tiri runs NW-SE, c. 60–70 m asl. Valleys run off each side, with creeks flowing gently down to the coast. In summer these creeks usually dry up and in places leave a series of pools in shaded forest. Most of these valleys containing bush have been unofficially referred to with different numbers, e.g. Bush 1, 2, 3, etc, and others are named after other attributes, e.g. Wattle Valley, Lighthouse Valley, etc (see Fig. 1; for aerial photographs see Rimmer 2004: p. 8, 18). The island is a Scientific Reserve, administered by the Department of Conservation, and managed as an open sanctuary (Hawley 1997). Wooded Island (0.95 ha) lies 200 m off Tiri’s northern coast (Fig. 1), reaches 35 m asl, and is included here as part of Tiri.

VegetationBy 1975 pastoral farming had reduced the vegetation to 52% grassland, 27% bracken fernland, 10% mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and kānuka (Kunzea aff. ericoides) shrubland,

6% isolated trees of pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa), 3% kohekohe (Dysoxylum spectabile) regrowth forest, and 1% māpou (Myrsine australis) regrowth forest (Esler 1978b). No original forest remained (see aerial photo in Rimmer 2004: p.18). Esler (1978b) provided full descriptions of the different components of the vegetation in the 1970s and also mapped them. Secondary succession post-Esler has been documented by West (1980a,b) and Cashmore (1995).

Brief descriptions follow for the main present-day vegetation types:

(a) Natural regrowth forest and isolated pōhutukawa trees (19% of the island’s area; all percentages are from Fig. 1, adapted from Rimmer 2004: p.14)

The largest areas of tall natural forest are in the valleys of Bush 1, 2, 21 and 22 where broadleaf canopy trees of kohekohe are commonly present, with occasional trees of māhoe (Melicytus ramiflorus), taraire (Beilschmiedia tarairi), karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus) and tawāpou (Planchonella costata). Most of the surrounding upper valley slopes are dominated by kānuka and in a few places mānuka. Smaller and lower stature forest patches also exist in Bush 3, 4, 23, and Wattle, Little Wattle and Lighthouse Valleys. Scattered large pōhutukawa trees are a feature of the Tiri coast, and often stand alone on the cliff tops (Fig. 2).

Figure 2. Large solitary pōhutukawa trees are a common feature of the Tiri coast. Photo: Pohutukawa Cove, EKC, 3 Dec 2006.

(b) Planted forest (64%)This vegetation-type has undergone the most rapid change; in the 1970s much of the island was either rank pasture or fernland (Fig. 3). The earliest plantings were mainly of salt-tolerant pōhutukawa and taupata (Coprosma repens), but it was soon realised that faster growing shrubs, e.g. coastal karamū (Coprosma macrocarpa), houpara (Pseudopanax lessonii), ngaio (Myoporum laetum) and karo (Pittosporum crassifolium), shaded out the pasture and fruited much more quickly than pōhutukawa and the planting emphasis was changed to these species (Ray Walter pers. comm.). The early planted stands of pure pōhutukawa have formed dry litter with little to no regeneration underneath. In places their understorey is limited to grassland dominated by microlaena (Microlaena stipoides). Atkinson (2004) found pōhutukawa retards the rate at which

310 New Zealand Journal of Ecology, Vol. 37, No. 3, 2013

a diverse forest community can develop, and recently some trial felling in the pure pōhutukawa stands has occurred to encourage more diverse regeneration. The mixed plantings have been much more successful; many are now c. 8m tall and there has been regeneration of shade-tolerant shrubs and canopy species, especially māhoe and kohekohe.

(c) Open pasture (10%; including the lighthouse complex)This includes mown pasture (tracks, Coronary Hill, lighthouse complex and associated paddocks) and rank grassland left to regenerate (mainly along the main ridge and lower western slopes, but also some steep coastal slopes). The mown pasture is dominated by exotic grasses and herbs, and the rank grassland by microlaena, bracken (Pteridium esculentum), pōhuehue (Muehenbeckia complexa) and exotic grasses especially sweet vernal (Anthoxanthum odoratum) and cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata). A steep coastal slope by Lighthouse Bay is dominated by the native grass, Anthosachne multiflora. Approximately half the area shown by Rimmer (2004) as ‘open pasture’ near the southern end has actually been planted (see Fig. 1).

(d) Natural regenerating area (7%)The main area is at the northern end of the island, but it is actually only about half the size of the area shown by Rimmer (2004: p.14); the rest has been planted. The steep coastal slopes that have also been left to regenerate are not included in this 7% total. The northern regenerating area is a mix of rank grassland, bracken, pōhuehue, flax (Phormium tenax), and shrubs of coastal karamū, hangehange (Geniostoma ligustrifolium), māhoe and pōhutukawa.

(e) Wetlands (not mapped)Wetlands in Tiri are mainly narrow strips in valley bottoms being actively shaded out by the successful natural regeneration and plantings of these wetter and more-sheltered sites, e.g. Little Wattle, Bush 21 & 22. There is also a series of small earth dams (c. 10) put in to encourage waterfowl; several of these dry up completely after winter rains have ceased. The largest and most open surviving wetland is in Lighthouse Valley, where three creeks feed into Pumphouse Creek. Scattered along the open margins of this slow-moving creek are tree ferns (mamaku [Cyathea medullaris], whekī [Dicksonia squarrosa]), cabbage trees (Cordyline australis), shrubs (mānuka, coastal karamū),

sedges (Carex geminata, C. secta, C. virgata, Machaerina rubiginosa), rushes (Juncus spp.), ferns (Blechnum novae-zelandiae, Deparia petersenii, Paesia scaberula), swamp millet (Isachne globosa), and herbs (Epilobium pallidiflorum, Ranunculus reflexus, R. urvilleanus).

(f) Planted exotic trees (not mapped)Planted exotic trees are restricted to the lighthouse complex. All were planted during 1902–1978 and many have been removed in recent times. In 2006 the tall exotics were still a landscape feature by the lighthouse. They included: a shelterbelt of exotic pines (Pinus radiata, P. ?pinaster), gum trees (Eucalyptus saligna), four macrocarpas (Cupressus macrocarpa), two flame trees (Erythrina ×sykesii) and a Norfolk pine (Araucaria heterophylla). All the pines and a few of the gum trees were cut down during 2006/07 and the Norfolk pine and one of the macrocarpas were topped at the same time. There is also a remnant Australian ngaio (Myoporum insulare) hedge near the visitors centre.

Previous botanical investigationsThe first recording of the vascular flora of Tiri appears to have been by Leonard Cockayne, who visited the island at least twice. He recorded brief ecological notes in his notebook on 17 February 1905. He listed 17 native plant species along with some general plant names, i.e. rushes, grasses and thistle (Cockayne 1905). No herbarium specimens collected by Cockayne from Tiri were located.

Thomas Cheeseman compiled a vascular plant list for the island based on specimens sent to him for identification by Anders Hansen, the Tiri lighthouse keeper for 1906–1909 (Cheeseman 1908; Rimmer 2004). Of the 234 entries, about 193 native and naturalised vascular plant species were recorded (many names were repeated). Four of these records are represented by specimens in the Auckland Museum herbarium (AK) (herbarium acronyms follow Thiers 2010).

Alan Esler (1978b) published a full vascular flora of wild plants (native and naturalised, but excluding anything that was planted) for the island along with a description of the vegetation based on field work in December 1970 (5 days), October 1975 (4 days) and November 1977 (1 day). He was aware of Cockayne’s (1905) observations, but not Cheeseman’s (1908) list. Esler’s valuable baseline record of 339 (actually 347 if all his entries are included) species and varieties (55%

311Cameron, Davies: Vascular flora of Tiritiri Matangi

native) was before abandonment of sheep and cattle grazing in 1972 and subsequent revegetation planting. Importantly, he provided comments on changes in the vegetation over the next few years. In the mid-1970s there were only a few hectares of regrowth forest (stock-browsed) in several gullies, otherwise it was mainly grassland and bracken fern. Forty-eight Tiri specimens collected by Esler were located in AK herbarium and also a few in CHR.

Cameron & West (1986) added 20 (but only 16 based on present knowledge) new wild flora records and commented on several others based on many visits from 1978–1986. The vascular flora of the adjacent Wooded Island was recorded for the first time by Taylor & Tennyson (1999) based on day visits in August 1987 and February 1989, making 3 (only 2 based on present knowledge) additions to the flora of Tiri. Cameron (2013) updated and added to the Wooded Island flora, but no new records were added to the Tiri flora. Other interesting Tiri records were submitted to AK and AKU herbaria from rangers, contract staff and volunteers doing weeding, and university research students. In all, 168 Tiri vascular plant specimens exist in AK from this 1978–2005 period, including many specimens collected by one of us (EKC).

Methods

During 2006–2010 our objective was to record all wild vascular plants, determine their year of establishment and rank current abundance, and provide voucher specimens for most records for Tiri. The thousands of plantings were generally ignored because our object was to record the wild flora. One of us (NCD) spent much of 2006 surveying the island and collecting voucher specimens, EKC had five trips of 1–4 days specifically searching for new records. An attempt was also made to locate all previous herbarium collections, relevant publications and reports, and talk to knowledgeable people about the island’s flora, e.g. weed management staff, and current and former rangers. Plants observed as only seed rain on Tiri, with no live plants seen, are recorded separately in Appendix 1.

As far as possible all previous plant names were updated to current taxonomy, with indigenous species following de Lange & Rolfe (2010), and the naturalised species following the Landcare Research database (http://nzflora.landcareresearch.co.nz/, accessed Dec 2012). It was beneficial that the names on the Cheeseman (1908) list directly related to the names he used in the Manual of the New Zealand Flora (Cheeseman 1906). Cheeseman herbarium specimens in AK were also specifically referred to for clarification of names being used by him at that time. Where different, all original recorded names are included in the updated annotated checklist (Appendix 1).

Recording the wild flora is sometimes complicated on Tiri by the difficulties recognising wild from planted individuals. In this respect, our survey was timely as the plantings were usually recent enough to be able to make this distinction. Also, the abundance of many naturalised species was influenced by the management of targeted weed species funded by the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi. There has been a weeding programme carried out on the island virtually since the planting began in 1984; this was more formalised in the 1990s (Dunning 1996) and during the last decade there has been a list of about 40 targeted weed species recorded in the Annual Weed Reports (Anon. 2003; Lindsay 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010; Lindsay & Price 2005). About 20 additional species have been killed when seen. These weeds are all marked “†” (targeted

species) or “ⁿ” (additional) in column 5 of Appendix 1. The Annual Weed Reports (2002–2010) have been invaluable to document the managed weed species.

Results

Four hundred and thirteen herbarium vouchers were collected during our 2006–10 survey on Tiri. A further 241, pre-2006, vascular plant vouchers from Tiri were located in AK, CHR and WELT herbaria, the earliest collected in 1906. This brings the total Tiri vascular plant herbarium collections to 654 (representing 71% of the total wild flora): 417 in AK (which also includes former AKU collections), 223 UNITEC, 13 CHR, and 1 WELT. The label information of CHR and WELT herbarium specimens is not yet fully electronically available and those herbaria may contain further records.

An annotated checklist is presented for all vascular plant records since 1905 in five categories (Appendix 1): (a) wild, (b) seed rain only, (c) cultivated only (no wildlings), (d) rejected wild records, (e) additional records recorded in 2013. The total of all the wild vascular species, varieties and hybrids recorded is 512 taxa with just over half being indigenous (Table 1). Six species (1 native, 5 exotic) are recorded only as seed rain. A further 32 species are categorised as cultivated only (excluding the ranger’s garden): four exotic; eight indigenous (but outside their geographical range); and 20 indigenous (part of the revegetation project). A single record is rejected as wild. The additional five records added in proof are not included in the flora totals. The indigenous status of the species follows de Lange & Rolfe (2010).

The wild vascular floraTen Nationally (de Lange et al. 2013) and 22 Regionally (Stanley et al. 2005) Threatened and Uncommon species have been recorded on Tiri (Table 2). Thirteen of these species are now presumed extinct on the island. However, Tiri appears to be a regional stronghold for some of these species: Anthosachne multiflora, Einadia triandra, Ipomoea cairica (Fig. 4), Plantago raoulii (Fig. 5) and Ranunculus urvilleanus. Based on the numerous seedlings observed in the forested valleys there is also an expanding population of tawāpou, a regionally uncommon tree. Esler (1978b) recorded fewer than 12 tawāpou, including one sapling and no seedlings. Tiri is also the likely natural geographical southern limit for Ipomoea cairica (Cheeseman 1925; Cameron 2005) and the population includes an unusual white-flowering form (Fig. 4).

Based on present abundance, an attempt was made to ascertain whether the pre-1978 taxa have increased, decreased or remained the same since Esler’s (1978b) survey. The overall totals indicate that 46% decreased, 38% showed no change, 16% increased (Fig. 6) and 121 new additions arrived. Seventy-five of the pre-1978 records (19% of the pre-1978 flora) have not been confirmed by this update (Table 1, Appendix 1). This is not surprising because the habitat was being constantly degraded during most of this period by grazing animals. After the stock were removed in 1972 the grazed areas reverted to rank pasture. Then, the massive replanting project began (in 1984) transforming 64% of the island, but causing many of the small herbaceous plants to be shaded out. These unconfirmed records include one Cockayne and 32 Cheeseman records which Esler also did not see. Of these 75 records, 64% were native and 13 were threatened and uncommon species (Table 2).

On the other hand, ten Cheeseman records not confirmed by Esler have now been re-recorded (6 native, 4 naturalised, see Appendix 1) and most were at low numbers. These could have been suppressed by the livestock, existed only in the seed bank, been small populations just missed by Esler, or they became locally extinct and have since returned to the island. They include the previously misidentified but now confirmed Einadia triandra. It is assumed there has been an increased sampling effort during 1978–2010, compared with the early field surveys.

Swampy valley bottoms are actively being shaded out as regeneration progresses to forest. Consequently, some wetland species and plants associated with open wetlands are decreasing. For example, Esler (1978b) recorded raupō (Typha orientalis) as “Locally plentiful in many of the creeks…[and] almost pure colonies…” in two of the creeks. Raupō is now reduced to two creek margins and is sparsely distributed in those habitats. Native wetland species that Esler saw and now appear to have gone include Centipeda aotearoana (species uncertain), Eleocharis acuta, Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae and Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani. In 1985 one of us (EKC) counted 75 Ranunculus urvilleanus plants scattered along two open southern Tiri creek margins; 21 years later they had decreased to a single plant, most likely because the open habitat had been overgrown. The Cheeseman-only records of

Epilobium spp. and Juncus spp. may have been eliminated by grazing livestock and rabbits while the wetlands were still open.

The accumulative 121 wild plant additions graphed against time (Fig. 7) show that intensive searching during 2006–10 resulted in more new records compared with the passive collection of new records for the period 1978–2005. Sixty-eight percent of the increase is of exotic species and 29% of these are listed as pest plants in the Auckland Regional Pest Management Strategy (Anon. 2008). These and over 20 other weedy species are currently being controlled on the island (marked ‘†’ or ‘ⁿ’ in Appendix 1). Also, three of the six ‘seed rain only’ records are also regional plant pests (Anon. 2008).

Common vegetables and fruit eaten by humans were present in low numbers wild on Tiri, presumably discarded by visitors, e.g. apple (Malus ×domestica), avocado (Persea americana), plum (Prunus ×domestica), pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), passionfruit (Passiflora edulis and probably P. tarminiana), and tree tomato (Solanum betaceum).

We have speculated how the 121 additions since 1977 might have arrived on the island (Table 3, Appendix 1). Floras of other inner Hauraki Gulf Islands of different histories give clues as to how the recent propagules may have reached Tiri. Plant species were excluded from the human-assisted category if they were (1) present from the more unmodified inner Hauraki

315Cameron, Davies: Vascular flora of Tiritiri Matangi

Gulf Islands that are dominated by native vegetation and have relatively low rates of human visitation, e.g. Motuoruhi of 64 ha (Wilcox et al. 2005), the two main islands of The Noises of 8 and 15 ha (Cameron 1998) and Tarahiki Island of 6 ha (Cameron et al. 2007; Cameron 2010a), or (2) present on either of the two farmed islands, Rotoroa of 90 ha and Pakihi of 114 ha (Cameron et al. 2007; Cameron 2010a, b) of the inner Hauraki Gulf that also contained some native bush and have low rates of human visitation. Exceptions included 14 plant species suspected to have been human-assisted because they were either a popular fruit of humans, or they were only located in human-maintained habitats on Tiri. Using the above criteria nearly one third of all the recent introductions may have been assisted by humans (directly attached, accidently or intentionally brought, or attached to vehicles, machinery, etc.), making this the largest single arrival method (Table 3). This is unsurprising because there are around 32,000 human visitors to the island per year. It is consistent with the conclusions of Chaloupka & Domm (1986) for ten coral islands on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia where they found the percentage of the alien flora increased with an increase in visitor numbers.

The next most common method of arrival appears to be by wind (22.5%); the 13 additional ferns and lycopods make up nearly half of this group. Alternatively, these could have been accidently brought in by humans on boots or vehicles. However, all these taxa are widespread on other islands in the inner Hauraki Gulf; including several virtually uninhabited islands (from herbarium specimens; and EKC pers. obs.), and therefore we believe they have more likely to have arrived by wind.

Seven species (6% additions since 1977) appeared to have floated to the island; these include the weedy century plant (Agave americana), Oxalis pes-caprae and smilax (Asparagus asparagoides). At least three species appeared to have arrived by two different methods: smilax by birds (under a known starling roost) and sea (a tuberous root-clump at back of a beach amongst driftwood and flotsam); nahui (Alternanthera nahui) by humans (old nursery site) and waterfowl (in a remote dam at the northern end of the island); and naked ladies (Amaryllis belladonna) remnant plantings in the lighthouse paddock which have expanded vegetatively (pink-flowered form), and a recent illegal planting by Hobbs Beach (white-flowered form).

An odd absentee from the island’s flora is Samolus repens; despite plenty of suitable coastline. It was perhaps eliminated by the farm stock and/or by rabbits when they were abundant about 110 years ago (see Rimmer 2004). However, it is also absent from Wooded Island which appears to have never had exotic mammals.

Discussion

How accurate were the earlier predictions?Esler (1978b) predicted that as woody cover increased during succession, the number of exotic species would decline. This has not happened; instead there has been a net gain of 24 exotic herbs: 21 pre-1978 exotic herbs were lost but 45 were gained (Table 1). Many of the exotic herbs on the island now grow in human-related habitats, such as mown lawns, roads, tracks and their margins. These habitats have been developed post-Esler. The growth of native trees and shrubs has suppressed the cover of brush wattle in Wattle Valley over the last three decades (EKC pers. obs.) as Esler (1978b) predicted would occur. However, brush wattle is still present

and newly germinated seedlings are still removed from the boundary of Wattle Valley, most commonly along the open road margin. Maintenance of the brush wattle is likely to have been assisted by severe storm events like the one on 10 July 2007 when the associated plants of māhoe, karaka and coastal karamū were stripped of their foliage and small branches in the upper southern flank of Wattle Valley (EKC pers. obs.) temporarily opening up the canopy to the advantage of the light-loving brush wattle. It is likely that brush wattle is a persistent component of the soil seed bank, as is the case for related species (e.g. Auld 1986). As predicted by Esler (1978b), the abundance of palatable species has increased (e.g. hangehange, māhoe, kawakawa (Piper excelsum), kohekohe, pigeonwood (Hedycarya arborea), taraire, tawāpou have all appeared to have increased) and some unpalatable species appeared to have declined (e.g. māpou) or stayed the same (e.g. Coprosma rhamnoides).

Lack of seabird managementComparing Tiri’s vascular flora with nearby seabird islands showed that very few species were absent due to the lack of management of native seabirds on Tiri. However, the abundance and vigour of some species may be affected. For example, a suite of plants that benefit from seabird guano enrichment are either more common or much more lush on the major seabird island off Tiri’s NE coast, Wooded Island (Taylor & Tennyson 1999; Cameron 2013). These include Disphyma australe, taupata, shore groundsel (Senecio lautus), Einadia trigonos, and glasswort (Sarcocornia quinqueflora). However, the only plant recorded here that is not on Tiri is māwhai (Sicyos mawhai), which is now extinct on the island. Existing breeding seabirds on Tiri are blue penguin, diving petrel, grey-faced petrel, red-billed gull, black-backed gull, white-fronted tern and probably fluttering shearwater; and there is evidence that the diving petrel and grey-faced petrel colonies are expanding (Mel Galbraith pers. comm.). Expansion of the seabird colonies should benefit the guano-loving plants. Other guano-loving plants listed by Gillham (1960a, b, c) and Norton et al. (1997) present in the Hauraki Gulf but absent from Wooded Island include Cook’s scurvy grass (Lepidium oleraceum), poroporo (Solanum aviculare) (present on Tiri in the past) and sea celery (Apium prostratum) (present on Tiri). The widespread demise of māwhai and Cook’s scurvy grass is more complex than just a lack of guano and appears to be disease-related in māwhai (Delmiglio & Pearson 2006) and probably partially disease-related in Cook’s scurvy grass (Norton et al. 1997; Hasenbank et al. 2011).

RecommendationsThe future composition of the flora of Tiri is likely to be influenced by ongoing human impacts. To ensure dominance of appropriate native plant species in the future flora of Tiri, we recommend:

1. Tighter quarantine requirements for plant propagules. This recommendation is based on the fact that 42% of the exotic additions are suspected of being human introductions; some of the present biosecurity measures are only fauna-focused.

2. The results indicate that the present quarantine message needs to specifically warn visitors about the disposal of fruit and vegetable waste. Surprisingly no kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) have been recorded wild yet because the fruit is commonly eaten and wild vigorous

316 New Zealand Journal of Ecology, Vol. 37, No. 3, 2013

vines have established in many Auckland school grounds (EKC pers. obs.).

3. That managers consider controlling more weedy species on the island, i.e. currently localised species that are expected to spread and suppress native herbaceous species of open habitats, such as Carex divulsa, Cynodon dactylon, Daucus carota, Oxalis pes-caprae, Parentucellia viscosa, Polygonum arenastrum, Stenotaphrum secundatum and Torilis arvensis.

4. Removal of ten indigenous species planted in small numbers outside their natural geographical range (listed in Appendix 1, a & c) because some may hybridise with related natural species on the island and others may naturalise. Note that seedlings of Pittosporum umbellatum and Meryta sinclairii have already been observed, the latter about 200 m from the two planted adults.

5. That managers highlight threatened species of the inner Hauraki Gulf near the island’s visitors’ centre, rather than the current species displayed that are outside their natural geographic range, perhaps beginning with the 13 which are suspected to have been lost already (see Table 2).

6. Removal of the Australian ngaio (Myoporum insulare) hedge and hybrid ngaio (M. insulare × M. laetum) plantings because they will pollute the native ngaio (M. laetum) gene pool.

7. Removal of two, planted, yellow-flowering pōhutukawa c. 5 m tall near the top of Bush 22 because they are not of local origin and they may impact on the local pōhutukawa gene pool.

8. Although feral exotic mammals are now absent from Tiri, exotic bird and invertebrate species are present and may have a negative impact on the native flora. One such exotic species worthy of study is the common garden snail (Cantareus aspersus) which is present on Tiri (Chris Green, pers. comm.).

9. Conduct regular and more frequent surveys for new plant species arrivals and local extinctions, ideally every five years. Good management relies on knowing what is present (e.g. Lindenmayer et al. 2012).

10. The maintenance of populations of rare herbs (Table 2) that require open sites is unlikely, unless management is changed to ensure persistence of their preferred habitats. Apart from the steep coastal slopes, most of their current habitats are rapidly being shaded and competition from naturalised herbs is increasing throughout. For the non-coastal species there is potential for them to grow along track margins. This is occurring naturally for Ranunculus urvilleanus; however, weed management will be important for maintaining such populations.

11. If management of open wetland habitats is not maintained, their current flora is likely to keep declining, e.g. Carex lessoniana, C. secta, Epilobium pallidiflorum, Juncus primatocarpus, and Ranunculus amphitrichus. The existing small dams offer minor areas of semi-permanent still water, but the swampy stream habitats (e.g. Lighthouse Valley) may require a weir or vegetation management for them to be maintained as open wetland habitat.

PredictionsOver the next twenty years, we predict that:

1. Movement of land birds over the sea between Tiri and the

Whangaparaoa Peninsula (3.5 km distant) will increase with the recently completed predator-proof fence and mainland island at the tip of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula which includes Shakespear Regional Park. This will result in an increase of bird-dispersed seed (native and exotic species).

2. The current nesting seabirds (blue penguins, diving petrels, grey-faced petrels and possibly fluttering shearwaters) will keep expanding their present colonies, potentially benefitting a suite of guano-loving plant species.

3. Natural dispersal to Tiri of native trees that are not currently present should slowly continue to occur, but will be low in number because most of the expected tree species for an island of this size and location are already present. Island size is a limiting factor because larger islands have more diverse habitats and more areas protected from salt-laden winds. Bird-dispersed tree species such as Litsea calicaris, Pittosporum tenuifolium and Pseudopanax crassifolius are likely species that may colonise the island during the next twenty years.

4. A rise in the proportion of shade-tolerant tree species will continue to occur (e.g. karaka, kohekohe, māhoe, taraire, and tawāpou) as increasingly shaded habitat continues to become available for these species as regeneration progresses.

Appendix 1. Wild vascular Flora of Tiritiri Matangi from 1905–2010.

KeyColumn 1 * = a naturalised or adventive exotic species** = solely spreading from planted parent(s)**~ = exotic cultivated species which has not naturalised*** = cultivated native species outside their geographic rangeP = also a limited number planted (< 1000)PP = also a major planted species (> 1000)

Column 2C = Cockayne record (Cockayne 1905)Ch = Cheeseman’s list (Cheeseman 1908) compiled by Cheeseman from plants sent by Hansen for identification[Ch] = on Cheeseman’s list (1908) under a related name (not a synonym)

Column 3E = listed by Esler (1978b)[E] = based on a redetermination of an Esler specimen (not listed by him)

Column 5 (current abundance, based on observations 2006–10)a = abundantc = commonex = has been seen post-1977, but possibly now extinct on the islandEx = not seen since 1977, presumed extinct on the islandl = localo = occasionals = scarce (< 5 populations seen)† = a weed species being actively managed ⁿ = a weed species being partially managed (removed when seen, but not searched for)

Column 6 (estimated abundance change post-Esler)A = additions since 1977D = decreasedI = increasedNC = no change

Column 7 (possible mode of arrival to Tiri for additions post-1977)See Table 3 for key to symbols

Column 8 (Current population notes)C&W = record from Cameron & West (1986)Herbarium acronyms follow Thiers (2010)
