Woody-plant encroachment is an under-recognized consequence of land degradation. This phenomenon is common in rangeland ecosystems, where woody plants...

Woody thickening or 'bush encroachment' is a growing concern in savannas worldwide, and can reportedly be reversed by applying high-intensity fires. P...

Many grasslands worldwide are undergoing succession to woody vegetation, causing complex effects on carbon (C) sequestration, nutrient cycling and bio...

Following the removal of invasive plant species, most land managers rely on natural succession to re-establish native plant communities. However, insu...

Woody riparian buffers (hereafter, 'woody buffers') are frequently considered as important to mitigate the effects of stressors on streams and rivers....

World-wide, tropical savannas and dry forests are under increasing pressure from land use. The environmental impacts of agricultural expansion into th...
