Mean height increase in saplings of a keystone woody savanna species over 15 years similar to that over a single season
Abstract Woody structure, particularly that created by large trees, is crucial to savanna biodiversity pattern and process. We assessed changes in vertical and horizontal canopy over 15 years of saplings of Vachellia (Acacia) erioloba (camelthorn), a keystone species and one of the only trees to gro...
