Makarora Braided River: spatial and temporal biodiversity distributions and interaction presented by Anthony Coote and Rachel Hufton, Aspiring Biodversity Trust.
Since its inception in late 2017, Aspiring Biodiversity Trust (ABT) has observed and recorded changes in the distribution and geometry of channels and gravel bars over a 20-kilometre length of the Makarora braided river. Correlations are made between changes in Makarora braided river channel and bar distribution/morphology, and weather events. Over the same time period, ABT has observed and recorded continuities and variations in the distribution of protected/endangered avifauna species territories and breeding/nesting sites, as they relate to the dynamics of the changing braided river system.
