The fall and fall of Manbungubwe's riverine forest

Abstract

Riparian habitat The Greefswald riverine forest along the Limpopo River on the northern South African border is increasingly threatened by natural and anthropogenic activities. SAEON Observation Science Specialist Prof Tim O’Conner tracks the impact of these outside influences on this unique habitat. The river was not only the lifeblood of this society, which depended on flooding for irrigation of soils to be cropped, but is also offered a multitude of other resources. Riverine forest provided some of these.
