Sustained elephant browsing and intense burning could result in the loss of woodlands under conditions where elephant densities are high, such as in northern Botswana. Three woodland types dominated by Acacia erioloba, Baikiaea plurijuga and Colophospermum mopane were monitored in plots and contempo

The structure of woody vegetation was studied in little disturbed arid savanna and in adjacent over-grazed vegetation. In the over-grazed areas density and cover of woody plants were higher than in the less disturbed vegetation. The difference was accounted for by one species, Acacia mellifera, whic
