Van Rooyen, Noel, 1950- Swart, Hermanus Bernardus UCTD Cape Pangolin Manis Temminckii Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 1996. Ecological data on the vegetation and the enviromental factors of Letaba Ranch were collected. Climate, edafic and vegetation data were collected and analysed. Three plant communities, four sub-communities and five variants were identified. Five management units were identified on which proposals for the management of the study area were made. The veld condition varied from very poor (10.42 %) to very good (74.13 %).The carrying capacity was determined to ensure that the game stocking rate was not too high. It was found that Letaba Ranch could easily maintain 1 392 large stock units (LSU) and 5 921.6 browse units (BU). The influence that re-introduced juvenile elephants has had on the herb layer and woody plants was also investigated to determine whether juvenile elephants can be used as a natural means to prevent bush encroachment. The recent study showed that juvenile elephants can not be used as a meganism to prevent bush encroachment on Letaba Ranch.
