Abstract Moriori agroforestry practices led to the creation of forests dominated by an introduced tree, kōpi (Corynocarpus laevigatus). Kōpi trees produce an edible drupe which was essential to the successful settlement of Rēkohu (Chatham Island). It is also only on kōpi trees that Moriori created a unique art form, called rākau momori, marking the trees with anthropogenic, animal and abstract images. The remaining stands of old growth forest which include kōpi trees and rākau momori are in varying states of decline and until recently were not identified as a cultural landscape. The acknowledgement of the forests as cultural landscapes has resulted in changes to the conservation and management practices of these spaces. The current management practices have been designed following paleo-ethnobotanical research (palynology and anthracology), ethnography and archaeological excavations which suggest Moriori planted and managed the forests until they were abandoned following an invasion in 1835.

文化森林景观的保护与恢复:保护查塔姆岛森森创造的森林

摘要Moriori农林业的实践导致了以引入的树kōpi(Corynocarpus laevigatus)为主的森林的产生。考皮树会产生可食用的核果,这对于成功解决Rēkohu(查塔姆岛)至关重要。也只有在高皮树上,Moriori创造了一种独特的艺术形式,称为rākaumomori,用人为,动物和抽象的图像标记树木。其余的老生长林包括科皮树和拉考莫莫里树处于不同的衰退状态,直到最近才被确定为文化景观。承认森林为文化景观已导致对这些空间的保护和管理做法的改变。当前的管理实践是根据古人类植物学研究(昆虫学和人类学)设计的,
