Publikováno v: People and Nature, Vol 4, Iss 4, Pp 1020-1031 (2022)

Abstract Woody‐plant encroachment is an under‐recognized consequence of land degradation. This phenomenon is common in rangeland ecosystems, where woody plants outcompete grasses, resulting in a shift to more wooded ecosystems. The consequences o

Savanna fire regimes depend on grass trait diversity

Autor: Kimberley J. Simpson, Sally Archibald, Colin P. Osborne

Publikováno v: Trends in Ecology & Evolution. 37:749-758

Grasses fuel most fires on Earth and strongly influence local fire behaviour through traits that determine how flammable they are. Therefore, grass communities that differ in their species and trait compositions give rise to significant spatial varia

The aim of this study was to understand how communities of adult and juvenile (seedlings and saplings) woody plants were impacted by fire and the 2014–2016 El Niño drought in Kruger National Park, South Africa. We used a landscape-scale fire exper
