Disentangling the effects of global climate and regional land-use change on the current and future distribution of mangroves in South Africa

2013-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The mangrove distribution in South Africa is fragmented and restricted to small forest patches occupying only 16 % of the estuaries within the current range. In this study we used species distribution models to test (1) whether the absence of mangrove forest and its species (Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Rhizophora mucronata) within their current range is driven by climate or by climate combined with...
