Abstract
This study focuses on nine Acacia species from Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park in KwaZulu-Natal, South AFrica. The study was motivated by the need to understand the dominance of legumes in the process of bush encroachment in Southern Africa. A. karroo has been identified as a particularly invasive species in HUP, and determining what makes this Acacia species and any of the other acacias in HUP invasive formed the foundation of this study.
