Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping ecosystem services for planning and management
Benis N. Egoh,Benis N. Egoh,Belinda Reyers,Mathieu Rouget,David M. Richardson,David C. Le Maitre,Albert S. van Jaarsveld +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors mapped the production of five ecosystem services in South Africa: surface water supply, water flow regulation, soil accumulation, soil retention, and carbon storage, and assessed the relationship and spatial congruence between services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent Social Learning and Conformity Shape a Wild Primate’s Foraging Decisions
TL;DR: Here, it is shown experimentally that wild vervet monkeys will abandon personal foraging preferences in favor of group norms new to them, a more potent force than hitherto recognized in shaping group differences among wild animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial congruence between biodiversity and ecosystem services in South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used correlation, overlap, and correlation analyses to assess spatial congruence between ecosystem services and species richness (plants and animals) and vegetation diversity hotspots.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of the effectiveness of a large, national-scale invasive alien plant control strategy in South Africa
Brian W. van Wilgen,Greg G. Forsyth,David C. Le Maitre,Andrew Wannenburgh,Johann D.F. Kotzé,Elna van den Berg,Lesley Henderson +6 more
TL;DR: South Africa’s national-scale strategy to clear invasive alien plants should be substantially modified if impacts are to be effectively mitigated, and a more focused approach is called for.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying priority areas for ecosystem service management in South African grasslands
TL;DR: There was moderate to high overlap between priority areas selected for ecosystem services and already-identified terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity priority areas, making it possible to combine biodiversity and ecosystem services in one plan using systematic conservation planning.
