    Page 1 of 8 Original Research Virgilia divaricata may facilitate forest expansion in the afrotemperate forests of the southern Cape, South Africa Authors: Virgilia divaricata is a fast-growing nitrogen-fixing tree species often found on the margins of 1 Corli Coetsee forest in the southern Cape of South Africa and is particularly abundant after fire. However, Benjamin J. Wigley1 V. divaricata may invade fynbos even in the absence of fire and it has been described as a forest Affiliations: precursor. We investigated whether V. divaricata enriches soil fertility after its invasion into 1School of Natural Resource fynbos areas adjacent to forests. We measured soil organic carbon and soil nutrients at four Management, Nelson sites. At each site, three vegetation types (forest, V. divaricata and fynbos) were examined on Mandela Metropolitan University, George campus, the same soil type and at the same elevation. Our results showed that, on average, soils taken South Africa from V. divaricata stands had higher nitrogen and phosphorus values than the adjacent fynbos soils, with either lower or similar values to the adjacent forest soils.

Australian Acacias, a group of plants that has been planted globally for a range of uses, but has escape plantation areas and became invasive in many countries, are particularly problematic. Acacia mearnsii is one of these invasive alien plant species and in South Africa it is also an important forestry species. It is currently the fifth most widespread invasive alien plant in South Africa, only restricted by the very arid Karoo, thus it is important to assess the different habitats that it enters.
