The Diversity of the Savanna Ecosystem

Ecological Studies, 1996
Savannas are defined by Bourliere and Hadley (1983) as “tropical grasslands with scattered tress.” Ecosystems with these characteristics are found throughout the tropics in all continents but particularly in the Americas, Africa, and Australia. However, this physiognomic definition encompasses a great deal of diversity in both biotic and abiotic ...

Savanna Biodiversity and Ecosystem Properties [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Studies, 1996
The overall question addressed here is the effect of different degrees of biodiversity on the function of savanna ecosystems. Function can be interpreted in two different ways. It can refer to the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem or to the flow of species populations through time, i.e., the persistence of species populations and their ...

Savanna Ecosystems

1996
Abstract Great herds of wildebeest, big cats, the great tuskers and the all but extinct rhino are the images that epitomize the savannas of Africa. The savannas of Africa are occupied by the earth’s’ richest and most spectacular large mammal fauna, a sizable proportion of which is found in East Africa.

ON TERMITARIA IN A SAVANNA ECOSYSTEM

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1965
During the course of a quantitative phytosociological analysis of the vegetation of the Northern Rupununi Savanna, British Guiana, the termitaria were measured by the Quarter Method of the Wisconsin School in a manner similar to that for trees. The ecological distribution of the termitaria was found to be correlated with quantitative expressions of ...

On the carrying capacity for large ungulates of African savanna ecosystems

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1994
The effect of pastoral management on the standing crop biomass of large ungulates, an index of carrying capacity, is analysed at a regional level by using data compiled from published sources covering east and south Africa. The effect of primary production is controlled for by using two environmental factors, rainfall and soil nutrient availability ...
