Herbivore and human impacts on woody species dynamics in Maputaland, South Africa

2012-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Maputaland’s woodlands are under utilization pressure inside and outside conserved areas due to mounting densities of mammals in the former and increasing human utilization of vegetation in the latter. Conservation of this biodiversity hotspot requires a better understanding of vegetation dynamics. To this purpose, woodland vegetation structure was evaluated at three sites through size class distribution analysis...
