Long-term ecosystem dynamics of contrasting grasslands in South Africa

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Rainfall, fire, and grazing all control changes in vegetation and soil in grassland and savanna ecosystems. In these ecosystems, wetlands are key resource areas because they keep moisture and collect nutrients that support grass production. The grass production supports high grazer densities in landscapes, especially during dry climatic periods.
