TL;DR: It is shown, using data from 854 sites across Africa, that maximum woody cover in savannas receiving a mean annual precipitation (MAP) of less than ∼650 mm is constrained by, and increases linearly with, MAP.

TL;DR: The first 12 years (1989-2001) of the Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) was described in this article, a community-based natural resource management program in which Rural District Councils, on behalf of communities on communal land, are granted the authority to market access to wildlife in their district to safari operators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an interdisciplinary and interactive approach for: (i) the understanding of competing claims and stakeholder objectives; (ii) the identification of alternative resource use options; and (iii) the scientific support to negotiation processes between stakeholders.

TL;DR: This work proposes a framework for assessing system performance using indicators from the sustainable-livelihoods perspective, and develops an Integrated Interpretation of the Indicators.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the literature on the vegetation of the Kalahari and described the vegetation structure and composition at 11 new sites and found that there is a clear gradient in woody plant biomass (as indexed by basal area) from south to north.
