Maori experience of community treatment orders in Otago, New Zealand.
OBJECTIVE To consider the impact of community treatment orders (CommTOs) on Maori patients and their whanau (extended family) and the associated views of mental health professionals. METHOD As a distinct aspect of a larger study of CommTOs, eight Maori patients under compulsory community care were interviewed and, where possible, members of their whanau. Associated interviews were held with t...
متن کاملAlpine Phytomass and Primary Productivity in Central Otago, New Zealand
Phytomass was measured and net potential productivity estimated for normal climatic conditions on the Otago rainshadow mountains. Seven tall snow tussock grasslands were compared with lower-statured cushion, herbfield and short grassland communities. Total phytomass ranged from c. 5-9 Kg m (22 000-40000 Kcal m) in tall tussock and c. 2-4 Kg m (8100-16500 Kcal m) in cushion, herbfield or short g...
متن کاملObservations of gulls foraging on beach-stranded plankton in Otago Harbor, New Zealand
Red-billed gulls (Lams scupzdinus) and southern black-backed gulls (Lams dominicams) exploited a large and highly visible food source provided by beaching of euphausiids (Nyctiphanes australis) and galatheid crab larvae (Munida gregaria) in Otago Harbor. The plankton strandings occurred predominantly in summer, and provided a food source of -270 t dry weigh1 over 170 d along 12 km of shoreline....
متن کاملDeclining plant species richness in the tussock grasslands of Canterbury and Otago, South Island, New Zealand
We studied vegetation change on 142 permanently marked transects spread throughout tussock grasslands of Otago and Canterbury, in areas subject to both pastoral and conservation management. The transects were established between 1982 and 1986 and re-measured between 1993 and 1999, providing a record of vegetation change at each site over an interval varying from 10 to 15 years. Each transect co...
متن کاملInvertebrate diversity on Olearia bullata and Coprosma propinqua in a modified native shrubland, Otago, New Zealand
Despite the global importance of New Zealand’s invertebrates, relatively little is known about them and their relationships with plants and plant communities in native habitats. Invertebrate diversity was examined by beating randomly chosen shrubs of the species Olearia bullata (Asteraceae) and Coprosma propinqua (Rubiaceae). Invertebrate taxon richness was assessed initially using morphospecie...
