- W2730482384 abstract "Tall trees are in decline throughout many national parks in South Africa. Many studies havefound that trees within a certain size are preferred by elephants which damage trees by eitherbark stripping, breaking tree branches and/or stems or by knocking over trees (toppling). Thedecline of trees in relation to growing elephant populations is of growing concern, as tall treesare a key stone feature in the savanna ecosystem. One of the parks where elephant populationsare increasing is in Hluwhluwe-iMfolozi Park, KwaZulu-Natal. To investigate whether treeswithin the park are in decline, we set out to revisit previously tagged trees from 2007 toreassess their condition. When revisiting trees a total of 260 trees were found, resulting in a92.5% success rate in relocation of individual trees. The analyses showed that elephant impactwas not descriptive of tree mortality within the park. Two tree species however, Combretummolle and Spirostachys africana, had a lower mortality risk. The risk of elephant impact wasmediated by several abiotic variables, such as slope, aspect and elevation. The results of thisstudy further accentuates the need to research the interaction between various factors tounderstand the causative agents of tall tree mortality." @default.
