Water-use, growth and water-use efficiency of indigenous tree species in a range of forest and woodland systems in South Africa
type: CreativeWork
description: This study was initiated to explore whether indigenous tree species use less water than introduced plantation tree species, whether they use that water more efficiently in terms of biomass accumulation, and consequently whether there is scope for the expansion of indigenous tree production systems in South Africa.
