Abstract:<\/SPAN><\/P>

Geographic Zones / Geographic Area (Ecological) for Waimakariri District as defined in the report: Priorities for indigenous biodiversity protection in Waimakariri District: Significant Vegetation and Habitat Types and Indigenous Plant Species, by Wildlands Consultants Ltd ©2021. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>The ecological significance of different vegetation and habitat types depends on their character and composition and the ecological context in which they occur (e.g. ecological district, land environment, geographic location, local landform and context). It is therefore appropriate to divide the Waimakariri District into four broad geographic zones in order to identify significant indigenous vegetation and habitat types that require protection under the District Plan: <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

·<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Coastal - coastal wetlands, estuaries and sand dunes (see Boffa Miskell 2018). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

·<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Plains - Low Plains and High Plains Ecological Districts. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

·<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Foothills - hill country (Oxford, Torlesse, and Ashley Ecological Districts). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

·<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Lees Valley - valley floor of inter-montane basin (see Given 1999).<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
