dc.description.abstractThe implementation of a patch-mosaic burning system (PMB) in southern African savanas was investigated. Under such a system fires are point-ignited, under a range of fuel and weather conditions, and allowed to burn out by themselves. The system was applied in Pilanesberg National Park (PNP), South Africa over a period of nine years. The area burnt per year is a function of the grass fuel loads, and the number of fires per year is a function of the percentage area burnt. This should result in the creation of mosaics, which should vary in extent and existence in time.en_ZA
