Duncan, R.P.; Young, J.R. 2000. Determinants of plant extinction and rarity 145 years after European settlement of Auckland, New Zealand. Ecology 81: 3048-3061.
A remarkable record of the local plant extinctions that have occurred due to urban expansion in the Auckland area exist from vegetation surveys published in 1871 by Thomas Kirk and in 1991 by Alan Esler. This paper analyses this historical record and identifies factors predisposing certain species to rarity or extinction.
