The impact of dense stands of the alien invasive species Acacia saligna on the guild structure of indigenous fynbos vegetation was investigated at 3 s...

Production, N and P return, and decomposition of leaf litter of the invasive alien Acacia saligna were compared with that of the indigenous sclerophyl...

Regeneration, mortality, local extinction, growth and foliar elemental concentrations of indigenous (ericoid, restioid, proteoid) and alien (acacia) p...

South African fynbos vegetation, principally Protea repens and P. neriifolia, is fire-prone and susceptible to invasion by alien shrubs. Changes in bi...

Fire is an important process in Mediterranean-ecosystem shrublands, and prescribed burning is often used to manage these ecosystems. Analyses of past ...

The invasion of fynbos shrublands by woody weed species can reduce the water yield from catchment areas dramatically. The consequences of uncontrolled...

In a study of 14 experimental fires in tall open sclerophyllous shrubland in 2 state forests, rates of spread ranged from 0.04 to 0.89 m/s, flame leng...

In this paper we describe the process of parameterizing and validating a spatial demographic model of a spreading alien plant population. The model, a...

Data are presented for 10 fynbos sites with stands aged 25-80 yr subjected to various clearing treatment (felling, piling, burning) over 12 yr with re...

Introducing areas of wildflower vegetation within crop fields has been shown to enhance pollinator activity and pollination services to crops, and fin...
