- ItemOpen AccessClimate change effects on land degradation and agriculture in the Swartland, South Africa(2005) Barrable, Anne; Hewitson, Bruce; Meadows, Michael EThe Swartland is a region of sparse natural vegetation, consisting of primarily dry-land crop farming. The area is particualarly sensitive to the changing Meditterranean-type climatic conditions and is characterised by undulating terrain and a history of land degradation and soil erosion. This thesis therefore considers how future climate change may impact on soil loss in such a climatically sensitive region of central economic significance for southern Africa.
