- On the origin of southern African subtropical thicket vegetation (2005, background): “the Itigi-Sumbu thicket of Tanzania and Zambia (Burgess et al. 2004), and as an extensive zonal formation in the SomaliaMasai region (White 1983).”
- Global patterns of plant diversity and floristic knowledge (2005, background): “Several studies (Dinerstein et al., 1995; Olson & Dinerstein, 1998; Ricketts et al., 1999; Olson et al., 2001; Wikramanayake et al., 2001; Burgess et al., 2004) used this framework because of the advantages that a system following natural boundaries has compared with political borders or grid cells.”
- Explaining the global pattern of protected area coverage: relative importance of vertebrate biodiversity, human activities and agricultural suitability (2008, background): “In the Afrotropical realm vertebrate richness reaches its highest levels in the tropical rain forests and tropical savanna-woodlands (Burgess et al., 2004).”
- Getting ready for REDD+ in Tanzania: a case study of progress and challenges (2010, background): “Firstorder, field-survey based carbon density estimates are lacking for several forest ecoregions (see Burgess et al., 2004 for terminology): East Africa montane forests, Albertine rift forests, southern rift forests, mangrove forest, Victoria Basin forest–savannah mosaic, and northern and southern…”
- Biomes and bioregions of Southern Africa (2006, background): “fynbos and renosterveld types in places (as have ecoregions of Burgess et al. (2004) within this biome).”
- The Great Escarpment of southern Africa: a new frontier for biodiversity exploration (2011, background): “Burke and Gunnell (2008), in contrast, provide evidence for a younger Escarpment.”
- Protected areas network is not adequate to protect a critically endangered East Africa Chelonian: Modelling distribution of pancake tortoise, Malacochersus tornieri under current and future climates (2020, background): “The Zambezian biogeographical region is a wider biogeographical region, spreading across Africa from Namibia to Tanzania, while the Somalian biogeographic region is considered a refugium for arid-adapted plants and a centre of endemism for wide-range of animal taxa including reptiles [23, 24].”
