Fire severity effects on resprouting of subtropical dune thicket of the Cape Floristic Region by Tiaan Strydom, Tineke Kraaij, Mark Difford, Richard M. Cowling

“…It has been hypothesised that high-intensity fires prevent fire-dependent fynbos from being replaced by fire-avoiding subtropical thicket on dune landscapes of the Cape Floristic Region (CFR). Recent extensive fires provided an opportunity to test this hypothesis. …”

Flammability of native and invasive alien plants common to the Cape Floristic Region and beyond: Fire risk in the wildland–urban interface by Tineke Kraaij, Samukelisiwe T Msweli, Alastair J Potts

“…Prompted by recent extreme fires in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, we assessed the flammability and fuel traits of excised terminal branches of 30 woody species (many of which have never been studied before) that commonly occur as native, alien or invasive species in this region and some other temperate regions of the world. …”
