Can the season of burning affect the growth of Dichrostachys cinerea populations: A hypothesis of phenology
… burning would constrain the population growth of Dichrostachys cinerea as at this stage in the plant's phenology carbon reserves are lowest after the initial spring flush and therefore post-bum re-growth would be stunted. Initial slow re-growth would affect the time taken to reach maturity and the …

DDRAD-seq based identification of genetic markers to facilitate the assessment of clonal versus sexual reproduction in dichrostachys cinerea
Dichrostachys cinerea, commonly referred to as “sicklebush”, is a semideciduous nitrogen-fixing tree species belonging to the Fabaceae family and is native to parts of Africa, India and Northern Australia. In addition to propagation via seed dispersal, the species is capable of asexual reproduction …

Chemical composition, ruminal degradability and in vitro digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of dichrostachys cinerea and bauhinia thonningii leaves.
… of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) of Dichrostachys cinerea and Bauhinia thonningii leaves. The browse tree leaves were harvested in the wild in Shayandima, Limpopo province. The leaves were collected, oven-dried, milled to pass through a 1.0 mm sieve and analysed for chemical …

Fire survival and life histories of Acacia and Dichrostachys species in a South African savanna
… were Acacia karroo, A.nilotica, A.caffra and Dichrostachys cinerea. A total of 670 trees were subjected to different clipping treatments and their response monitored for two years. The response of 1512 trees was assessed following eight controlled burns of varying intensity and season. I …

Nutrient content and the effects of feeding four Namibian encroacher bush species on growth, methane production and carcass characteristics of Damara sheep
… encroacher bush species (Senegalia mellifera, Dichrostachys cinerea, Terminalia sericea and Rhigozum trichotomum) was evaluated. Leaves and twigs (< 20mm stem diameter) harvested during the late dry, early rainy and late rainy seasons were analysed for proximate content, minerals, amino acids, …
