dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the effects of past management aimed at clearing invasive alien plants in South African fynbos ecosystems. The treatments included "bulldozing and aerial-spraying", "aerial-sprayiing", "boom-spraying" and "spot-spraying". Both an ant study and vegetation survey was conducted to test the hypothesis that fynbos is resilient to all kinds of pertubation (including the most severe alien plant management treatments employed) and that natural recovery over time is adequate to restore fynbos (without human intervention).en_ZA
