Herbaceous Forage and Selection Patterns by Ungulates across Varying Herbivore Assemblages in a South African Savanna
(PLOS ONE, 2013-12-16)
Herbivores generally have strong structural and compositional effects on vegetation, which in turn determines the plant forage species available. We investigated how selected large mammalian herbivore assemblages use and ...
Savannah trees buffer herbaceous plant biomass against wild and domestic herbivores
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-11-30)
Questions: Given the growing abundance and dominance of domestic herbivores in
savannah ecosystems, can trees maintain plant herbaceous standing biomass under
increasing herbivore pressure? Are there differences in the ...
Managing Semi-Arid Rangelands for Carbon Storage: Grazing and Woody Encroachment Effects on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen.
(PLOS ONE, 2015-10-13)
High grazing intensity and wide-spread woody encroachment may strongly alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. However, the direction and quantity of these changes have rarely been quantified in East African savanna ...
Mammalian wildlife diversity in rubber and oil palm plantations.
(CABI, 2016-07-27)
In the face of globally diminishing natural habitats in biodiversity-rich regions, agricultural landscapes around protected areas have increasingly gained importance as extended habitat for wildlife species. Rubber (Hevea ...
Anthropogenic disturbance and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) habitat use in the Masito-Ugalla Ecosystem, Tanzania
(American Society of Mammalogists, 2020-11-04)
The habitat quality of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), including the availability of plant food and nesting species, is important to ensure the long-term survival of this endangered species. Botanical composition of vegetation ...
