The Functional and Structural Succession of Mesic‐Grassland Soil Microbiomes Beneath Decomposing Large Herbivore Carcasses

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2025.
The study shows that nutrient–rich wildebeest carcasses significantly alter soil microbiome functions and structures over 18 months. Metabolic diversity increases and remains distinct, while initial microbial diversity is reduced but recovers. This highlights the long‐term impact of carcasses on soil health and ecosystem dynamics in grasslands ...

Dietary shifts: do grazers become browsers in the Thicket Biome?

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2001
The diet of buffalo (Syncerus coffer) and Burchell's zebra (Equus burchelli) was investigated in the Addo Elephant National Park to test the hypothesis that the shortage of grass associated with thicket vegetation results in grazers increasing the ...

A dynamic hydro-mechanical and biochemical model of stomatal conductance for C4 photosynthesis [PDF]

, 2017
C4 plants are major grain (maize, sorghum), sugar (sugarcane) and biofuel (Miscanthus) producers, and contribute ~20% to global productivity. Plants lose water through stomatal pores in order to acquire CO2 (assimilation, A), and control their carbon ...

Montane grassland recovery: lessons from 25 years of the Working for Water program on the northern Drakensberg Escarpment, South Africa

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.
Despite their strategic importance as biodiversity hotspots and water sources, montane ecosystems are among the most neglected conservation areas. In particular, the monitoring and management of invasive alien plants in this critical biome is limited.

The Influence of Bush Encroachment on the Abundance and Species Richness of Rodents in a Mesic Savanna

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The study assessed the influence of woody plant encroachment on the diversity of rodents in mesic savannas at the Roodeplaat and Goss Farms in South Africa. Some 142 animals from six species were recorded in 1748 trap nights. The non‐encroached habitat showed twice the species richness of encroached habitats, and three species were notably ...
