Australian brush-tailed possum has caused severe mortality in montane rata/kamahi forests in the north.    From Wordnik.com.  [Te Wahipounamu (South-West New Zealand World Heritage Area), New Zealand] Reference

Southern rata (Metrosideros umbellata) and kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa) were present in the central hill country and in the Catlins.    From Wordnik.com.  [Southland temperate forests] Reference

The dominant lowland trees are rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa), and southern rata or ironwood (Metrosideros umbellata).    From Wordnik.com.  [Rakiura Island temperate forests] Reference

Southren rata (Metrosideros umbellata) and kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa) grow on younger moraine surfaces that have retained some nutrients in the soil cover.    From Wordnik.com.  [Westland temperate forests] Reference

The uniform canopy is dominated by broadleaf species, mainly kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa) and tawa (Beilschmiedia tawa), with some emergent podocarps (e.g., rimu and matai).    From Wordnik.com.  [Northland temperate forests] Reference

Possums have caused the widespread death of kamahi and rata in lowland forests and the death of kaikawaka (Libocedrus bidwillii) and Hall's totara (Podocarpus hallii) in the southern ranges.    From Wordnik.com.  [Northland temperate forests] Reference

Rata and kamahi are also dominant on the steep, slip-prone mountain sides along with a variety of common small trees and shrubs like wineberry (Aristotelia serrata) and mahoe (Melicytus ramifloris).    From Wordnik.com.  [Westland temperate forests] Reference

Raw gravels are colonized by mats of lichen Rhacomitrium; the youngest glacial moraines - some only 20 years old - have nitrogen-fixing shrubs and grasses and herbs growing on a weakly-developed soil; on moraines aged 150 years rata-kamahi forests up to 20 m high flourish.    From Wordnik.com.  [Te Wahipounamu (South-West New Zealand World Heritage Area), New Zealand] Reference
