These invasions reduce water yields from catchments and affect riverine functioning and biodiversity. Initiatives are under way ... Read more
A comparative study of the seed bank dynamics of two congeneric alien invasive species

Author: Holmes, P M Date: 1989 The unique vegetation in the lowlands of the fynbos biome is threatened by alien Acacia encroachment. The seed bank dynamics of the two most widespread invaders in the region, Acacia saligma and A. cyclops, was studied to elucidate those ... Read more
An investigation of riparian vegetation recovery following invasive alien tree clearing in the Western Cape

Author: Blanchard, Ryan Date: 2008 Riparian zones are dynamic, as a result of varying levels of disturbance from natural flooding regimes, and this makes them particularly susceptible habitats to invasion by alien plants. In South Africa, particularly the Fynbos Biome, ... Read more
Riparian vegetation recovery after invasive alien tree clearance in the Fynbos Biome

Author: Blanchard, R ; Holmes, P M Date: 2008 The Working for Water programme is tasked with the important role of controlling invasive alien plants with an assumption that indigenous vegetation will recover naturally. This study assessed vegetation composition and structure following ... Read more
The effects of past management practices for invasive alien plant control on subsequent recovery of fynbos on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa

Author: Parker-Allie, F ; Richardson, D M ; Holmes, P M Date: 2004 Integrated control aimed at reducing impacts of alien woody plant invasions on biodiversity is underway in many parts of the Cape Floristic Region. However, the kinds of control measures applied may themselves affect the recovery of the natural ... Read more
