Notes:
MPI Ref. No: T19_00393
Distribution was denser in the older plantings, with some dense stands. Favoured areas of disturbance (e.g. edges of vehicle access tracks). Further north, where the native plantings were more recent, plants were more thinly distributed and discrete, favoured adjacent to planted specimens, where soil disturbance would have occurred. A single plant in the area had formed what could be called a large shrub and was approximately 3 metres in height.
Soil was damp (note at this time of the year, most areas of Christchurch are dry (soil moisture deficit for 6 February 2019 is considered extremely dry as per NIWA data, and soil moisture anomaly is b/w -10 and -20 mm).
Almost all plants were flowering, and in stages of producing fruiting bodies. Seeding had just begun on some plants, with the most mature fruiting bodies opening - this was only the uppermost fruiting bodies and not occurring on all plants.
Further south, Elytrigia repens was dense and this species was unable to establish.
