Talk:Deforestation in New Zealand

Revisionism - Natural causes
There's a revisionist theory that I've heard in a couple of places that a considerable amount of burning of old-growth forest is due to natural causes: the impact of the Mahuika comet in 1430. 


 * I don't think that hypothesis is widely supported and besides the term "deforestation" is used for human induced changes to forest cover rather than natural events. Earthquakes and volcanism have had a huge effect on the forest cover of NZ but that needs to be documented elsewhere. I have to get some maps (especially this one) and research from McGlone, an often quoted source on NZ deforestation, into the article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 10:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
