Dynamics of the soil seed bank over the short-term after bush clearing in a semi-arid shrubland in Springbokvlakte thornveld of South Africa

Mndela, Mthunzi; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, Florence; Dube, Sikhalazo (Elsevier, 2019-09)

Soil seed bank is a reservoir for passive restoration of rangelands following bush clearance. This study was conducted to assess the effects of bush clearance on the seed bank size, composition, diversity and relationship ...
Germination performance of different forage grass species at different salinity (NaCl) concentrations

Mangwane, Mziwanda; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, F.V.; Dube, S.; Mndela, Mthunzi (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor & Francis Group), 2021)

Is the soil seed bank a reliable source for passive restoration of bush-cleared semi-arid rangelands of South Africa?

Mndela, Mthunzi; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, Florence; Dube, Sikhalazo (SpringerOpen, 2020-01-30)

BACKGROUND : Bush clearing of encroached rangelands is crucial for restoration of herbaceous cover and diversity. Regeneration after bush clearing depends largely on the soil seed bank (SSB) size and composition. To assess ...
Short-term responses of herbaceous vegetation to bush clearing in semi-arid rangelands of South Africa

Mndela, Mthunzi; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, Florence V.; Dube, Sikhalazo; Ramoelo, Abel; Mangwane, Mziwanda; Tjelele, Julius T. (SpringerOpen, 2022-04-08)

Bush thickening reduces herbaceous species diversity and forage production, leading to a decline in grazing capacity. Hence, altering the micro-climate and woody-grass competition in bush-encroached rangelands using bush ...
