This study investigated the effects of past management aimed at clearing invasive alien plants in South African fynbos ecosystems. The treatments included "bulldozing and aerial-spraying", "aerial-sprayiing", "boom-spraying" and "spot-spraying". Both an ant study and vegetation survey was conducted to test the hypothesis that fynbos is resilient to all kinds of pertubation (including the most severe alien plant management treatments employed) and that natural recovery over time is adequate to restore fynbos (without human intervention). 2014-08-13T14:05:45Z 2014-08-13T14:05:45Z 2002 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6155 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
