BIRDS ASSOCIATED WITH PAFURI GALLERY FOREST

Ostrich, 1989
Abstract The Pafuri River is really a misnomer applied to the Levhuvhu River after its junction with the Mutale River. This far northern area of the Kruger National Park represents a distinctive tropical intrusion into the Transvaal. Some indications of progressive elephant damage to the gallery forest are given from Mr Harold Mockford, who lived at ...

Fire in the tropical gallery forests of Belize

Journal of Biogeography, 1997
ABSTRACT. Historical records of burning, field observations, and a manipulation experiment were used to evaluate the extent and impact of fire in a system of gallery forests in the Mountain Pine Ridge savanna, Belize. The outer boundaries of gallery forests are fire‐prone zones, but fires rarely intrude into these forests.

Late Holocene history of savanna gallery forest from Carimagua area, Colombia

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2000
The pollen record of a 65cm long core Laguna Carimagua-Bosque (4 degrees 04'N, 70 degrees 13'W) shows the late Holocene environmental history from a lake located within the gallery forest of the savannas of the Llanos Orientales of Colombia. Nine AMS radiocarbon dates of the organic deposits show that the core represents the period from ca.

Do isolated gallery-forest trees facilitate recruitment of forest seedlings and saplings in savannna?

Acta Oecologica, 2013
Abstract Facilitation is an ecological process that allows some species to establish in environments they can hardly afford in the absence of the process. This study investigated if the subcanopy of gallery-forest trees isolated in savanna is suitable for the early recruitment of forest woody species.

Historical development of gallery forests in northeast Kansas

Vegetatio, 1986
Woody vegetation, soils, age-diameter relationships and historical development are described for 18 gallery forest stands on Konza Prairie, a tallgrass prairie reserve in northeast Kansas. Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) coupled with the importance values of dominant species was used to identify four stand types in these forests: Quercus ...

Germinable soil seed bank of a gallery forest in Brazilian Cerrado

Plant Ecology, 2006
The soil seed bank is a dynamic biotic component of plant communities that represents the population’s memory in relation to selective events. Few studies have investigated the natural stock of germinable seeds in the gallery forests to evaluate their regeneration potential, although they are target of anthropogenic action.

Gallery forests in the lowlands of Costa Rica

2017
Recordings of an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries indicate that we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction. In birds, habitat fragmentation is well-known for its negative effect on diversity. Due to growth of human population, agricultural and settlement areas are especially expanding in tropical zones, which ...

Floristic Composition and Community Structure of a Central Brazilian Gallery Forest

Flora, 1990
Summary An intensive study was made of a gallery forest near Cuiaba, State of Mato Grosso. Analysis of the vegetation on 67 plots of 30 m 2 demonstrated a great deal of heterogeneity related principally to differences in topography and drainage.

Regeneration of gallery forests of Béda by natural tree species

Pollack Periodica, 2010
Instead of high value willow-poplar galleries and ash-oak-elm galleries stands of non-indigenous species are present at many sites of the flood plain of Danube in the Beda-Karapancsa Region of the Danube Drava National Park. According to the Act of Nature Conservation in Hungary minders of the territories are obligated to change non-indigenous tree ...
