Root suckering in Dichrostachys cinerea and a comparison of subspecies africana and nyassana
… vegetatively reproducing trees or shrubs. Root suckering has been observed in both subspecies of Dichrostachys cinerea that occur in Southern Africa. This study, performed in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve, KwaZulu Natal South Africa, examines variability in subspecies distribution and the …

DDRAD-seq based identification of genetic markers to facilitate the assessment of clonal versus sexual reproduction in dichrostachys cinerea
… of asexual reproduction via the process of root suckering. D. cinerea can aggressively colonize grasslands and quickly becomes problematic given its ability to persist through treatments such as fire, chemical treatment and mechanical removal. Due to its shrub-like physiology; propensity for root …

Potential key drivers of thicket expansion in savanna
… managers. Data on height growth, root suckering and fire damage were collected for two thicket forming species. A simulation model was developed to evaluate the effect of different biotic and abiotic factors on the spread of a thickerclump in savanna in the Hluhluwe Game Reserve, South …

An investigation on the potential interactions between colophospermum mopane and its neighbouring understory vegetation
… following rainfall; it was also proved that root suckering is another strategy which C. mopane trees use for survival especially after fire. Our current work also revealed that C. mopane trees produce abundant amount of seeds and seedlings and this was more obvious immediately after rainfall. …

Impact of fire in the taiga of southeastern Manitoba on wildlife, vegetation, and value to resource users
… reproduction through root sprouting or suckering was a dominant strategy observed on some plots. Relatively slow growing, late maturing species with larger, heavier seeds were also observed, and these are expected eventually to regain their upper canopy status. In an attempt to place a …

Life history traits of South African Encephalartos spp. (Zamiaceae) and their implications for understanding population structure, responses to threats and effective conservation action
… into adult plant persistence through vegetative suckering. Group 2 consisted mostly of rare species with very small populations and high proportions of adult plants showing evidence of episodic recruitment events. Species in Group 3 showed a similar trend towards intermittent recruitment with …
