Journal Article

The influence of Pechuel-Loeschea leubnitziae (wild sage) on grass sward and soil seed bank composition

Tedder, MJ; Kirkman, KP; Morris, CD; Trollope, WSW; Bonyongo, MC

2012 African Journal of Range & Forage Science

doi:10.2989/10220119.2012.720280

Soil seed banks provide not only a historical record of vegetation composition but also the potential for post-disturbance revegetation. Pechuel-Loeschea leubnitziae (wild sage) is a multistemmed, aromatic shrub, occurring in Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and the northern regions of...

The vegetation of Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, south-eastern Zimbabwe

Clegg, BW; O'Connor, TG

2012 African Journal of Range & Forage Science

doi:10.2989/10220119.2012.744352

The vegetation of Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve in Zimbabwe (39 378 ha) was classified and mapped in 2003 using an integrated approach of ground-based measurement and remote sensing. Environmental variables, structure and composition of the tree, shrub and herbaceous layers were sampled at 201...

Bush clump succession in grassland in the Kei Road region of the Eastern Cape, South Africa

O'Connor, TG; Chamane, SC

2012 African Journal of Range & Forage Science

doi:10.2989/10220119.2012.744776

Bush encroachment is a vegetation dynamic of global interest. This study describes the pattern of succession of bush clumps in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, using a space-for-time substitution. Clumps formed following establishment of mainly Acacia karroo in grassland through nucleation via...

Comparative investigation of physiological responses of field-grown alfalfa and tall fescue to cutting under different water regimes

Lazaridou, M; Kostopoulou, P; Karatassiou, M; Merkouropoulos, G

2012 African Journal of Range & Forage Science

doi:10.2989/10220119.2012.744775

An important consideration in designing and managing forage systems is the knowledge of the physiological response mechanisms to cutting, especially when water deficit conditions are prevailing. The objective of this study was to determine the physiological response of Medicago sativa and...

A novel method for estimating tree dimensions and calculating canopy volume using digital photography

Barrett, AS; Brown, LR

2012 African Journal of Range & Forage Science

doi:10.2989/10220119.2012.727471

Studies on plant phenology and browse capacity require effective methods to rapidly quantify plant dimensions such as tree height, height of maximum canopy diameter, height of first leaves, maximum canopy diameter, and diameter of trunk(s) at height of first leaves. Here we describe a method for...
