Changes in woody community structure and composition under constrasting landuse systems in a semi‐arid savanna, South Africa

We aimed to explore the farm scale effects of three landuse types, communal grazing, wildlife management and commercial cattle farming, on the woody vegetation of a semiarid savanna.
