Journal ArticleDOI
Large herbivores may alter vegetation structure of semi-arid savannas through soil nutrient mediation
Cornelis van der Waal,Ada Kool,Seline S. Meijer,Seline S. Meijer,Seline S. Meijer,Edward M. Kohi,Ignas M. A. Heitkönig,Willem F. de Boer,Frank van Langevelde,Rina Grant,Michael J. Peel,Rob Slotow,Henrik J. de Knegt,Herbert H. T. Prins,Hans de Kroon +14 more
TL;DR: Large herbivores may indirectly keep existing nutrient hotspots such as abandoned kraals structurally open by maintaining a high local soil fertility, which, in turn, constrains woody recruitment in a negative feedback loop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water and nutrients alter herbaceous competitive effects on tree seedlings in a semi-arid savanna
Cornelis van der Waal,Hans de Kroon,Willem F. de Boer,Ignas M. A. Heitkönig,Andrew K. Skidmore,Henrik J. de Knegt,Frank van Langevelde,Sipke E. van Wieren,Rina Grant,Bruce R. Page,Rob Slotow,Edward M. Kohi,Edward M. Kohi,E. Mwakiwa,Herbert H. T. Prins +14 more
TL;DR: The data support the notion that changes in drought frequency are of greater importance to woody recruitment success than changes in annual rainfall amount, and suggest that the effect of increased nitrogen deposition on woody seedling recruitment is contingent on water availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial scaling of habitat selection by African elephants.
Henrik J. de Knegt,Frank van Langevelde,Andrew K. Skidmore,Audrey Delsink,Rob Slotow,Steve Henley,Steve Henley,Gabriela Bucini,Willem F. de Boer,Michael B. Coughenour,C.C. Grant,Ignas M. A. Heitkönig,Michelle Henley,Michelle Henley,Nicky M. Knox,Edward M. Kohi,E. Mwakiwa,Bruce R. Page,Michael J. Peel,Yolanda Pretorius,Sipke E. van Wieren,Herbert H. T. Prins +21 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the spatial distribution of elephants can be better understood and predicted when scale-dependent species-environment relationships are explicitly considered, and the importance of considering the influence of spatial scale on the analysis of spatial patterning in ecological phenomena is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution of lion kills determined by the water dependency of prey species
Willem Fred de Boer,Marc Vis,Henrik J. de Knegt,Colin Rowles,Edward M. Kohi,Frank van Langevelde,Michael J. Peel,Yolanda Pretorius,Andrew K. Skidmore,Rob Slotow,Sipke E. van Wieren,Herbert H. T. Prins +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors separated the effects of vegetation density and the presence of drinking water by analyzing locations of lion kills in relation to rivers with dense vegetation, which offer good lion stalking opportunities, and artificial water points with low vegetation density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivores as architects of savannas: inducing and modifying spatial vegetation patterning
Henrik J. de Knegt,Thomas A. Groen,Claudius A. D. M. van de Vijver,Herbert H. T. Prins,Frank van Langevelde +4 more
TL;DR: The model shows that the pre-existing spatial pattern in vegetation influences the process of vegetation patterning through herbivory, however, this influence decreases when the heterogeneity and dominant scale of the initial vegetation decreases.
