Title: Effects of grazing, competition, disturbance and fire on species composition and diversity in grassland communities
Journal: Journal of Vegetation Science
Authors: A. J. Belsky
Date: 1992
Summary: Individual species response to grazing, physical disturbance, competition and fire was analyzed at a population-level and community-level in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (34Ëš 05\' E; 02Ëš 04\' S). Three ecologically different grassland communities (short-, mid- and tall-grass) were examined over a five year study. Vegetative cover (live and dead biomass), species diversity and species abundance were recorded across the three sites by utilizing a point-frequency frame. Three orthogonal contrasts in addition to effects of grazing and community cover and diversity were ma ...
