Facilitation between plants and patch dynamics are two common ecological processes in semi-arid regions. I tested the relevance of these processes to seedling establishment of perennial species on degraded landscapes in Namaqualand, South Africa. The species were grouped into two functional guilds, Mesembryanthema (formerly the family Mesembryanthemaceae, but now part of the Aicoaceae; hereafter Mesemb), which rely on CAM to a variable degree and are shallow rooted, and non-Mesembryanthema (hereafter non-Mesemb) that utilize C3 photosynthesis and have deeper root systems. 2015-01-03T18:31:02Z 2015-01-03T18:31:02Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11221 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
