Article Synopsis
- Artificial water provisioning in southern African nature reserves affects the movement and behavior of elephants and rhinos, as these species have specific preferences for waterhole types.
- Limited research necessitates understanding these preferences, particularly during water scarcity, to help managers effectively allocate and manage water resources.
- The study in Olifants West Nature Reserve identified specific waterhole preferences among different social groupings of elephants and rhinos, providing valuable insights for conservation planning and wildlife management.
Mesic Highveld Grassland is important for biodiversity conservation, but is threatened by bush densification from . This indigenous densifier spreads rapidly and outcompetes other herbaceous species, changing the species composition and structure of grasslands. This study looks at three different densities of and how these affect grassland biodiversity within Telperion, Mpumalanga, South Africa.
