- Changes in arthropod diversity along a land use driven gradient of shrub cover in savanna rangelands: identification of suitable indicators (2009, background): “In southern Kalahari rangelands, the relationship between shrub cover and horizontal and vertical diversity of shrubby vegetation is bell-shaped with a maximum at 10–15% shrub cover (Blaum et al. 2007d).”
- Impacts of shrub encroachment on ecosystem structure and functioning: towards a global synthesis (2011, background): “Richness of mammalian carnivores, reptiles and tortoises showed no significant trend in relation to increasing shrub cover at sites in the Kalahari (Blaum et al. 2007), Arizona (Castellano & Valone 2006) and Texas (Kazmaier et al. 2001), respectively.”
- Are shrubs really a sign of declining ecosystem function? Disentangling the myths and truths of woody encroachment in Australia (2014, background): “…that we have assessed (C sequestration, biodiversity conservation, hydrology, plant pastoral nutrients, pastoral production, soil fertility; see Box 4) are likely to respond differently to increasing woody densities (adapted from Blaum et al. 2007; Sirami et al. 2009; Eldridge et al. 2013).”
- Predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems: An undervalued ecosystem service? (2017, background): “Similarly, humans can directly kill small carnivores (Berger, 2006; Ćirović et al., 2016), and livestock can trample burrows of small carnivores and reduce vegetation cover (Blaum et al., 2007a; Blaum et al., 2007b).”
- The impact of shrub encroachment on savanna bird diversity from local to regional scale (2009, unknown): “Other taxonomic groups seem to show similar hump-shaped trends of diversity in relation to shrub cover in the savanna of the southern Kalahari: rodents (Blaum et al. , 2006), carnivores (Blaum et al. , 2007) and reptiles (Wasiolka 2003).”
