An innovative approach to disentangling the effect of management and environment on tree cover and density of protected areas in African savanna

2018-07-01

Abstract excerpt

In protected areas of the African savanna tree cover, structure and species composition are influenced by a combination of many different variables. These include complex and multi-scaled interplay of environmental factors such as water and nutrient availability, fire, herbivory and, when occurring, direct human disturbance. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the spatial variab...
