The degree of harvesting on private land was relatively low, with the majority of trees having been harvested at rates of less than 10 % of the stem below 2 m. Despite this, ringbarking had occurred (4 %). The basal diameters and heights were significantly lower in the protected population than in the harvested one, suggesting that over time elephant impact was the more severe disturbance. Acacia xanthophloea exhibited high resilience to disturbance, with all the elephant damaged trees and harvested individuals surviving. However, the mean bark thickness measured in local markets (6.3±1.4 mm) was significantly lower than that measured in either the harvested (12.4±1.0 mm) or the KNP (10.3±0.8 mm) populations. As harvesters tend to select the largest individuals in a population to maximise their financial returns, this could mean that smaller individuals are being harvested, and/or bark is not being given sufficient time to grow back after harvesting. Acacia xanthophloea outside protected areas thus need to be monitored and the management improved, preferably in conjunction with the resource users. In addition, traditional healers, those selling medicinal plants and other members of the community need to continue to be encouraged to cultivate this fast growing species.]]> Mon 19 Jul 2021 09:22:41 SAST ]]> Decolonisation of nature in towns and cities of South Africa: https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42618 Mon 18 Sep 2023 15:54:58 SAST ]]> Children navigating rural poverty: Rural children's use of wild resources to counteract food insecurity in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43706 Mon 12 Jul 2021 08:51:42 SAST ]]> Beyond just research: Experiences from Southern Africa in developing social learning partnerships for resource conservation initiatives https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43703 Mon 12 Jul 2021 07:40:04 SAST ]]> Density and regrowth of a forest restio (Ischyrolepis eleocharis) under harvest and non-harvest treatments in dune forests of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43649 Mon 08 Aug 2022 09:23:39 SAST ]]> Ecosystem disservices matter when valuing ecosystem benefits from small-scale arable agriculture: https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42620 Mon 08 Aug 2022 09:13:43 SAST ]]> Influence of land cover, proximity to streams and household topographical location on flooding impact in informal settlements in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43799 Mon 08 Aug 2022 09:12:14 SAST ]]> Ecological patterns and effectiveness of protected areas in the preservation of Mimusops species’ habitats under climate change https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42626 Mon 08 Aug 2022 09:11:52 SAST ]]> Does the absence of community involvement underpin the demise of urban neighbourhood parks in the Eastern Cape, South Africa?: https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42624 Mon 08 Aug 2022 09:02:59 SAST ]]> Green Apartheid: Urban green infrastructure remains unequally distributed across income and race geographies in South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40435 Mon 08 Aug 2022 09:01:00 SAST ]]> Incorporation of environmental issues in South Africa’s municipal Integrated Development Plans https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43393 Mon 08 Aug 2022 08:47:16 SAST ]]> Impacts of HIV/AIDS on food consumption and wild food use in rural South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43385 Mon 08 Aug 2022 08:44:13 SAST ]]> Effects of the invasive shrub, Lantana camara, on soil properties in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43391 Mon 08 Aug 2022 08:40:14 SAST ]]> Do indigenous street trees promote more biodiversity than alien ones?
