- ItemOpen AccessThe effect of simulated nitrogen deposition on growth and ecosystem functioning of managed P. patula plantation ecosystems in South Africa(2001) Jacobs, Shayne Martin; Stock, WD; Dye, PeterThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of future NO₃ and NH₄ deposition on growth and nutrient cycling in P. patula plantations growing on shale-derived soil. This study consists of a field and pot-grown seedling experiments, the former commencing in November 1995 and the latter in August 1996.
- ItemOpen AccessWater-use, growth and water-use efficiency of indigenous tree species in a range of forest and woodland systems in South Africa(2011) Gush, Mark Baudert; February, Edmund C; Dye, PeterThis study was initiated to explore whether indigenous tree species use less water than introduced plantation tree species, whether they use that water more efficiently in terms of biomass accumulation, and consequently whether there is scope for the expansion of indigenous tree production systems in South Africa.
