Physical and ecological effects of rehabilitating the geothermally influenced Waikite Wetland, New Zealand.

Abstract:

:Pressure to optimise land use and to maximise the economic viability of land has had a detrimental impact on wetlands worldwide. Rehabilitating wetlands has been identified by resource managers as increasingly important to enhance environmental values and restore ecosystem functions that may have been lost through developments effecting wetlands. This paper investigates rehabilitating a geothermally influenced wetland that had been drained and used for grazing stock. The Waikite Wetland (New Zealand) is a relatively unique wetland because the primary water source to the wetland has a significant geothermal water component. This results in the area hosting populations of rare flora and fauna that are significant to New Zealand. A range of management actions that included diverting a geothermal stream back into the wetland, blocking drains, pest control, weed control, native plantings, fencing and building a weir to increase water levels were used to rehabilitate the wetland. This was done to promote thermotolerant vegetation growth, restore wetland water levels and minimise pest plant species re-establishing while minimising the effects on geothermal surface features and allowing indigenous wetland vegetation to re-establish. Physical, chemical and vegetation monitoring show that management actions have increased thermotolerant vegetation growth in the wetland while having a small potential impact on geothermal discharges into the wetland. Increasing the water level in the wetland appears to be helping control plant pest species close to the weir, but has also made sensitive vegetation growing close to the waterways more susceptible to flooding caused by high-intensity rainfall events.
