  1. 1. Influence of surface water availability on the distribution of White Rhinoceros in central Greater Kruger

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Julie Mauguiere; [2022]
    Nyckelord :White Rhinoceros; Ceratotherium simum; water provisioning; artificial water; ecological processes; habitat selection; spatial ecology; landscape use; KNP; APNR; SAWC;

    Sammanfattning : The population of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) is now declining in the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa due to the intense poaching crisis ongoing since the early 2000s. The need for an efficient conservation effort has never been greater and requires a better understanding of white rhinoceros distribution in the landscape. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Emancipation Through Participation: A Case Study

    Magister-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Författare :Van Zyl Spies; [2020]
    Nyckelord :participatory development; CBNRM; stakeholder engagement; emancipation approach; systems approach;

    Sammanfattning : Over the past few decades there has been a concerted effort in southern Africa forcommunity based natural resource management (CBNRM) programs. The generalpremise behind CBNRM allows local communities to be empowered to utilize theirsurrounding natural resources to facilitate socio-economic growth. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Refining fuel loads in LPJ-GUESS-SPITFIRE for wet-dry areas : with an emphasis on Kruger National Park in South Africa

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Ylva Persson; [2013]
    Nyckelord :Kruger National Park; turnover time; fuel; Fire; wet-dry areas; LPJ-GUESS-SPITFIRE; geography; physical geography; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Eld är en av de viktigaste störningsprocesserna som påverkar den terrestra biosfären genom att forma vegetationens spridning, komposition, struktur, växtdiversitet och biokemiska cykler. Några av de mest påverkade ekosystemen är våt-torra områden, här klassificerade som savann eller Medelhavsområden. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Herbivory on woody plants and induced responses in two similar species of Acacia in the Kruger National Park, South Africa

    L3-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Fredrik Engdahl; [2008]
    Nyckelord :large herbivores; savanna system; Kruger national park; tree responses;

    Sammanfattning : I studied browsing patterns and the effects of browsing by different groups of herbivores on woody plants in Kruger National Park in South Africa. I determined how the browsing pressure varied with distance to water and measured inducible responses on two species of Acacia (A. exuvialis and A. grandicornuta). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Indirect effects of mammalian herbivores on invertebrates in a river gradient of the Kruger National Park, South Africa

    L3-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :David Bell; [2008]
    Nyckelord :large herbivores; aavanna system; Kruger national park; insects response;

    Sammanfattning : Savanna biomes have been heavily affected by fire suppression, and changed grazing and browsing regimes, caused by human interventions. As a result many biotic interactions, and ecosystem functions, have been altered. LÄS MER
