The community ecology of herbaceous vegetation in a semi-arid sodic savanna
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)Ecological conservation of savanna ecosystems is dependent upon interactive mechanisms involving bottom-up drivers such as nutrient availability, and top-down controls relating to fire, herbivory and water availability at ... -
The effect of fire on savanna vegetation dynamics in the semi-arid Molopo Bushveld region of the North-West Province, South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Land degradation in semi-arid areas is a worldwide phenomenon. Both land users and researchers have become increasingly aware of the environmental changes that occur over time due to land degradation. Among such changes, ... -
Herbaceous plant diversity responses to various treatments of fire and herbivory in sodic patches of a semiarid riparian ecosystem
(2014)Understanding relationships between large herbivores and plant species diversity in dynamic riparian zones, and more specifically sodic zones, is critical to biodiversity conservation. Sodic patches form an integral part ...
