  6. Water flow

    Water flow by uli lorimer from the GigaPan Martha Furnace Mill Pond by uli lorimer

    The water flowing in this image is approx. 6-8 inches deep. The underlying soil contains an impermable clay lens on top of which sits a shallow sand layer. The high water table here and the clay lens allow for the water to ttravel laterally and into the nearby Oswego river. The combination of unique soil type, hydrology and geology combine to make this site a very special habitat. The plethora of Bog asphodel, Golden crest, Orchids, Sundews, Pitcher plants, Sabatia, and Bladderworts are direct eveidence of how fragile and outstanding these plant communities are.

  40. Psuedopanax crassifolius juvenile form

    Psuedopanax crassifolius juvenile form by uli lorimer from the GigaPan Southern Beech Forest by uli lorimer

    A young lancewood exhibiting a markedly different form as a juvenile, a curious trait of many new zealnd native trees and shrubs. Two theories exist to explain this phenomenon: 1) The Moa theory which states that the juvenile form developed as a result of browsing by the bird. Once the tree reaches 2M in height it branches out and assumes its mature form. 2) The Climate theory states that these plants evolved in an colder Ice Age climate and their juvenile form allows them to withstand colder temperatures until established.
