Journal ArticleDOI
The relative impact of invasive Australian acacias, fire and season on the soil chemical status of a sand plain lowland fynbos community
Charles F. Musil,Guy F. Midgley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, soil pH, resistance, cation exchange capacity and six macro and five micro-elemental concentrations were made over a 12-month period in disturbed (burnt and Acacia saligna-infested) and undisturbed habitats in a sand plain lowland fynbos community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terrestrial carbon stocks and biodiversity: key knowledge gaps and some policy implications
Guy F. Midgley,William J. Bond,Valerie Kapos,Corinna Ravilious,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,F. Ian Woodward +5 more
TL;DR: The need to understand relationships between biodiversity and carbon cycling (including carbon sequestration) has risen in prominence owing to international interest both in preserving the terrestrial carbon pool and in conserving biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying priority areas for bioclimatic representation under climate change: a case study for Proteaceae in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a new method to identify and prioritize habitat based on its value for improving bioclimatic representation and demonstrate that the most valuable areas coincide with high priority ecosystem components and irreplaceable elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental biogeography : the role of environmental gradients in high geographic diversity in Cape Proteaceae
TL;DR: The experiment suggests that abiotic limitation under current environmental conditions does not fully explain the observed distribution limits or resulting biogeographic pattern.
