Poplars and willows are expected to continue to be the key tree species used to stabilise soil on pastoral hill country in New Zealand. Pastoral hill country is extensive across most regions of New Zealand, and particularly across regions of the North Island of New Zealand. Pastoral hill country erosion is more severe in the North Island, which tends to experience more intense rain storms. Hence the extensive planting of poplars and willows for hill slope stabilisation is more typical in the North Island than in the South Island.
