Megaherbivores And Cattle Alter Edge Effects Around Ecosystem Hotspots In An African Savanna, Kari E. Veblen
Megaherbivores And Cattle Alter Edge Effects Around Ecosystem Hotspots In An African Savanna, Kari E. Veblen
Kari E. Veblen
Wild mammalian herbivores and cattle are fundamental drivers of African savanna ecosystems and have strong impacts on woody vegetation. However, few experimental studies have investigated the separate and combined influences of different large herbivores on spatial vegetation patterning. In East Africa, temporary cattle corrals (bomas) develop after abandonment into productive, treeless ‘glades’ that attract both domestic and wild herbivores. Edges of glades exhibit unusually high densities of large trees. We used a long-term, broad-scale manipulative experiment to test whether megaherbivores (elephants and giraffes), wild meso-herbivores (15–1000 kg), or cattle caused shifts in woody plant abundances in glade edges. We also …
