Project aim
Our work encompasses the sub-project "Vulnerability and Resilience of Rangeland Vegetation as Affected by Livestock Management, Soils and Climate". In the project we aim to analyse and model changes in rangeland vegetation, with specific emphasis on its resilience and vulnerability as affected by livestock management and environmental conditions. The work will focus on South African savannah and grassland biomes and their system shifts to alternative states under different types of range management.
