Grass root gaps : an establishment bottleneck limits trees in savannas and excludes them in South Africa's highveld grasslands
The Highveld grasslands of South Africa are climatically capable of supporting trees, yet no trees occur. The fact that no fire adapted savanna trees occur in these grasslands confounds the suggestion that fires maintain these ecosystems. This study addresses the question of what prevents savanna tr...
