Popis:	Black rhinoceros browse utilization was assessed at the woody plant species and community levels in western Itala Game Reserve, South Africa, using a semi-quantitative, plant-based method. These knowledge was used to hypothesize the possible effects of vegetation change on the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis). Acacia nilotica, Acacia karroo, and Dichrostachys cinerea contributed most to the diet, and Cassine transvaalensis, Rhus guenzii, and the Acacia gerrardii were the most preferred species. Eighty-six percent of the recorded browse was from plants African Journal of Range & Forage Science, Vol. 10, Iss 1, p 36-40
