Quality The indicator monitors both Sphagnum moss distribution and extent. In regards to extent, all Sphagnum moss beds on the island were mapped in 1992 (Whinam and Copson, unpubl. Data). Future surveys will document additions/deletions to those recorded in 1992.

23 monitoring sites have been established to measure the extent of Sphagnum moss. Changes in area can be calculated from field measurements. Data are held in Nature Conservation Branch, DPIWE.

Expansion in distribution and/or extent of Sphagnum moss is likely to be a response to changes in climatic regimes. Established sites will be monitored temporally.

Values provided in temporal coverage are approximate only.
