Fig. 4From: Facilitating the recovery of natural evergreen forests in South Africa via invader plant standsDistribution of the Black wattle (Acacia mearnsii) stand (3.1 km long, covering 90 ha) at Buffeljags River, near Swellendam (South Africa) in relation to the distance to moist and riparian forest patches to the eastern upstream (right) end, and dry forest patches across the river to the south (adapted from Atsame-Edda 2014). Note that the Wattle stand was zoned, for this study, into nearby (A), intermediate (B) and distant (C) wattle areas, in relation to the natural forest patches. South of the river the alluvial terrace was used for grazing by cattle (D). The Langeberg mountain (E) is covered by the fire-prone Fynbos shrubland)Back to article page
