An investigation into the antineoplastic properties of Schinziophyton Rautanenii and Colophospermum mopane
… indigenous plants, Schinziophyton rautanenii and Colophospermum mopane used medicinally in Zambezi region, for their phytochemical content and anti-protease activity. Furthermore, phytochemicals where quantified as percentage yields of dry plant material, antioxidant activity measured and plants …

Relationships between herbivores and Colophospermum mopane of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, Botswana /
This study elicits the resilience of Colophospermum mopane as a tree. Elephant impact is extremely important in creating and maintaining niche requirements of other organisms, especially insects, associated with mopane trees. The value of mopane as a browse is documented seasonally, this resource …

An investigation on the potential interactions between colophospermum mopane and its neighbouring understory vegetation
Colophospermum mopane is a common tree or shrub locally dominant in savanna of sub-tropical region. A study of this tree species was carried out focussing on the two semi-arid areas where it is dominant and prevalent; the main areas considered for this current study are Mopani Bushveld and …

An alternative hypothesis for explaining anomalies in the fine scale distribution patterns of Colophospermum mopane : Are shrub and tree forms genetically distinct ?
… scale distribution patterns of shrub and tree Colophospermum mopane (Caesalpinioideae). Genetic distinctiveness between growth forms is investigated as an alternative hypothesis. Tree and shrub C. mopane from the riparian and inland savanna zones were sampled at four sites in the northern …

Small mammal community structure (Rodentia: Muridae) in Punda Maria, Kruger National Park, South Africa : Causes and consequences
… (Prunus dulcis), baobabs (Adansonia digitata), mopane (Colophospermum mopane), and Acacia tortilis seeds were used in the predation and dispersal experiment. North- and South-facing sites were dominated by Aethomys sp. while Acacia sites were dominated by Mastomys natalensis. Seed predation was …

Utilisation and dynamics of an arid savanna woodland in the Northern Province, South Africa
… species in communal land. Two plant species, Colophospermum mopane and Androstachys johnsonii, are the most preferred plant species for construction and energy purposes. In a protected area the C. mopane population is stable, an indication that recruitment balances mortality. The same applies …

The effects of neighbor, distance, and organic fertilizer on the establishment and early performance of three woody species in a restoration trial in the Kunene region, Namibia
… of three woody species – Vachellia erioloba, Colophospermum mopane, and Combretum imberbe. Experiments were conducted in outdoor and indoor environments using a "two-factor (2x9) complete randomized factorial design" with nine neighbor combinations and two levels of distance/fertilizer. …

Exploring the potential impacts of global change on the woody component of of South African savannas
… two common savanna trees Acacia nigrescens and Colophospermum mopane, at three critical demographic stages. Here I used a series of field studies, transplant experiments, lab experiments and modelling to determine the critical drivers of the distribution of these plants so as to understand how …

The value of Mopane worms: quantifying ecosystem services in terms of nutrient cycling in semi-arid regions of Limpopo
Mopane worms are the late-instar stage caterpillars of the mopane moth, Imbrasia belina/ Gonimbrasia belina, found in southern Africa virtually following their hosts' trees, Colophospermum mopane, Terminalia seriscea, and Sclerocarya birrea, among others. The caterpillars are harvested for …

Photo-electrical conversion efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells prepared from Mopane leaf chlorophyll extract
… In this research, chlorophyll extracted from Colophospermum Mopane leaves using methanol was employed as the dye for TiO2-based DSSC. TiO2 precursor solution prepared by Molecular precursor method (MPM) was spin-coated on top of Fluorine- Doped Tin Oxide (FTO) conductive glass and calcined at …
