The Swartland is a region of sparse natural vegetation, consisting of primarily dry-land crop farming. The area is particualarly sensitive to the changing Meditterranean-type climatic conditions and is characterised by undulating terrain and a history of land degradation and soil erosion. This thesis therefore considers how future climate change may impact on soil loss in such a climatically sensitive region of central economic significance for southern Africa. 2014-07-31T08:02:59Z 2014-07-31T08:02:59Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4825 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
