dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the carbon allocation patterns that enable the spindle form of Acacia karroa found in the HluhluweiMfolozi Park, KwaZulu-Natal, to survive repeated and frequent topkill. The central hypotheses were that resprouting is dependent on root carbohydrate reserves and that very frequent topkill would progressively lower the carbohydrate reserves of a plant and eventually cause mortality.en_ZA
