- W4313199817 abstract "In the Addo Elephant National Park, various approaches have been tried to determine the biodiversity integrity of the thicket vegetation. This study aims to provide a new way to gauge the status of thicket in the park by assessing vegetation impacted by elephants at various levels. To achieve this, the impact of elephants on the vegetation was assessed by measuring plots in areas surrounding three watering holes. These watering holes showed high levels of elephant impact close to the water and a decreasing gradient of impact further from the water – a typical piosphere effect. This approach was valid as both elephant activity (represented by elephant dung pile counts) and vegetation metrics were correlated to distance from water with the highest impact found in area adjacent to the watering hole. Within each piosphere, the level of elephants’ impact on thicket varied according to the individual age of the watering hole. The total percentage of canopy cover was used as a proxy for the condition of thicket and described using biodiversity metrics. The intact vegetation surrounding each piosphere was still impacted as estimated densities remained above 2 elephants/km2. The canopy cover of the vegetation varied between 106 – 165%, contained 27 – 33 species, comprised a multi-layered structure typical of thicket and had a plant height between 0.68 – 1.2 m. These values were still significantly lower than those found in the nearby elephant-excluded botanical reserve, suggesting that areas with lower elephant densities are required to assess the condition of thicket adequately." @default.
