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).”
Mapping vegetation morphology types in a dry savanna ecosystem: integrating hierarchical object-based image analysis with Random Forest (2014, background): “…processes, availability of habitat-related key structural resources (e.g. solitary nesting trees, foraging grounds, and migration routes), and the overall ecological sustainability (Dougill, Thomas, and Heathwaite 1999; Tews, Blaum, and Jeltsch 2004; Blaum, Rossmanith, and Jeltsch 2007).”
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).”
