  • Plant community response to loss of large herbivores differs between North American and South African savanna grasslands. 

    Koerner, Sally E.; Burkepile, Deron E.; Fynn, Richard W.S; Burns, Catherine E.; Eby, Stephanie; Govender, Navashni; Hagenah, Nicole; Matchett, Katherine J.; Wilcox, Kevin R.; Collins, Scott L.; Kirkman, Kevin P.; Knapp, Allan K.; Smith, Melinda D.; Thompson, Dave I. (Ecological Society of America; https://www.esa.org/esa/, 2014-04-01)
    Herbivory and fire shape plant community structure in grass‐dominated ecosystems, but these disturbance regimes are being altered around the world. To assess the consequences of such alterations, we excluded large herbivores ...

  • Post-fire succession on savanna habitats in the Okavango Delta wetland, Botswana 

    Heinl, Michael; Murray-Hudson, Michael; Tacheba, Buzanani (Cambridge University Press, https://www.cambridge.org/, 2007-10-29)
    Drying floodplains that were not inundated for more than 10 y were investigated to relate plant species and vegetation structure to time-since-fire for the southern Okavango Delta wetland in Botswana. The aims of the ...

  • Simulation of DOM fluxes in a seasonal floodplain of the Okavango Delta, Botswana 

    Mladenov, N.; McKnight, D.M.; Wolski, P.; Murray-Hudson, M. (Elsevier, www.elsevier.com/locate/ecolmodel, 2007)
    In order to examine dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluxes in seasonal wetland systems that expand and contract seasonally, a time-variable model of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was developed for a seasonal floodplain ...
