B-2 – Area 2 - Assessment of Environmental Effects 24 Figure 16: Tributary 2 within a pocket of riparian vegetation near its upstream extent. There is one natural wetland at Area 2, referred to as Mataura wetland. It is located adjacent to the property boundary with the Mataura Stream (see Figure 3). It is a welldefined transitional “damp area” where there is an obvious visual ecotone occurring, and an inner functional wetland, where the soil profiles reveal a persistently high water table, along with the presence of wet tolerant grasses and rushes.
