Description
Egmont National Park is located south of New Plymouth, close to the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The park, established in 1900, is dominated by the dormant volcano of Mount Taranaki. The park receives massive annual precipitation which is essentially orographic in origin as moist westerlies moving inland from the Tasman hit Mount Taranaki and the adjacent Pouakai and Kaitake ranges and are thus forced to rise. Since the area has high annual rainfall and a mild coastal climate there is a lush rainforest covering the foothills, a forest which is nationally significant for the total absence of beech trees. A rich northern rata/rimu/broadleaf forest is present, although the entire park ecosystem displays distinct patterns of vegetative zonation - the former two large species of tree are common at lower elevations whereas kamahi tends to dominate the stunted high altitude forest. In these old growth forests the crown fern (Blechnum discolor) is a dominant understory plant species.
