Ecology and management of alien plant invasions in South African fynbos: Accommodating key complexities in objective decision making (2009, background): “Climatic conditions and disturbance regimes (mainly fires, but also floods), including changes in their variability, also create opportunities for the successful establishment of IAPs (Midgley et al., 2005).”

Drought, Climate change and Vegetation response in the succulent karoo, South Africa (2009, background): “It might still be the case that rainfall in the succulent karoo biome will decline in the 21st century as suggested by most GCMs.(5,6) However, an analysis of the historical record has failed to support such a generalised desiccationist narrative for the 20th century in the winter-rainfall region.”
