    The potential for management of Leptospermum as a resource in New Zealand : a project submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma in Natural Resources at the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]

    Lissaman, P. R.
    Abstract
    Although leptospermum is so widespread in marginal areas, almost all of the considerable literature on the plant and its associations refers either to its botany and ecology, or refers to it as a 'weed' and to techniques of its control. This project, which is little more than a review of some of that literature, is an attempt to correct that imbalance and to look at the wider issues. In doing so, probably more questions are asked than answered. The first part is a brief review of the literature on the botany and ecology of the two main species, emphasising the differences between them which may have importance in their consideration as a resource and in their management. On this base both species are considered in relation to the principle land uses in New Zealand, notably pastoralism, native and exotic forestry, watershed management and biota reservation. Some alternatives of leptospermum are highlighted, not so much as recommendations, but in the hope of stimulating further investigation.... [Show full abstract]
