  • Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
    YIKA-VWAZA TRUST RESEARCH STUDY REPORT N (2017/18) Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi By Sopani Sichinga ([email protected]) September , 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018 – 19, a survey on vascular plants was conducted in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is located in the north-western Malawi, covering an area of about 986 km2. Based on this survey, a total of 461 species from 76 families were recorded (i.e. 454 Angiosperms and 7 Pteridophyta). Of the total species recorded, 19 are exotics (of which 4 are reported to be invasive) while 1 species is considered threatened. The most dominant families were Fabaceae (80 species representing 17. 4%), Poaceae (53 species representing 11.5%), Rubiaceae (27 species representing 5.9 %), and Euphorbiaceae (24 species representing 5.2%). The annotated checklist includes scientific names, habit, habitat types and IUCN Red List status and is presented in section 5. i ACKNOLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me thank the Nyika–Vwaza Trust (UK) for funding this work. Without their financial support, this work would have not been materialized. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) Malawi through its Regional Office (N) is also thanked for the logistical support and accommodation throughout the entire study. Special thanks are due to my supervisor - Mr. George Zwide Nxumayo for his invaluable guidance. Mr. Thom McShane should also be thanked in a special way for sharing me some information, and sending me some documents about Vwaza which have contributed a lot to the success of this work. I extend my sincere thanks to the Vwaza Research Unit team for their assistance, especially during the field work.

  • Impacts of Global Climate Change on the Phenology of African Tropical Ecosystems
    IMPACTS OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE PHENOLOGY OF AFRICAN TROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS GABRIELA S. ADAMESCU MSc by Research UNIVERSITY OF YORK Biology October 2016 1 Abstract The climate has been changing at an unprecedented rate, affecting natural systems around the globe. Its impact has been mostly reflected through changes in species’ phenology, which has received extensive attention in the current global-change research, mainly in temperate regions. However, little is known about phenology in African tropical forests. Africa is known to be vulnerable to climate change and filling the gaps is an urgent matter. In this study we assess plant phenology at the individual, site and continental level. We first compare flowering and fruiting events of species shared between multiple sites, accounting for three quantitative indicators, such as frequency, fidelity for conserving a certain frequency and seasonal phase. We complement this analysis by assessing interannual trends of flowering and fruiting frequency and fidelity to their dominant frequency at 11 sites. We complete the bigger picture by analysing flowering and fruiting frequency of African tropical trees at the site and community level. Next, we correlate three climatic indices (ENSO, IOD and NAO) with flowering and fruiting events at the canopy level, at 16 sites. Our results suggest that 30 % of the studied species show plasticity or adaptability to different environments and will most likely be resilient to moderate future climate change. At both site and continental level, we found that annual flowering cycles are dominant, indicating strong seasonality in the case of more than 50% of African tropical species under investigation.

  • Spider Plant Chlorophytum Comosum
    Spider Plant Chlorophytum comosum Popular, durable, exotic—Spider Plant is an easy houseplant to grow and enjoy. Spider or Airplane Plants have either one of three leaf color patterns: solid green leaves, green edges with a white variegated stripe down the center of the leaf blade or leaves with white edges and a green stripe down the center. Basics: This easy to grow plant is more tolerant of extreme conditions than other houseplants, but it still has its climate preferences. Spider Plant thrives in cool to average home temperatures and partially dry to dry soil. Bright indirect light is best. Direct sunlight may cause leaf tip burn. Fertilizer may be applied monthly from March through September. A professional potting media containing sphagnum peat moss and little to no perlite is best. Special Care: Spider Plants store food reserves in adapted structures on the plants roots. These “swollen roots can actually push the plant up and out or even break the pot. Avoid over fertilizing to minimize this growth characteristic. Spider Plants are easy to propagate. Simply cut off one of the “spiders” or plantlets and place in a pot. You may need to pin it down to the surface of the potting media to hold it in place until the roots grow and anchor it. A paper clip bent into an elongated U shape does the trick. Spider Plants are photoperiodic, that is they respond to long uninterrupted periods of darkness (short day, long nights) by initiating flowering. Production of “spiders” follows flowering. This daylength occurs naturally in the fall of each year.

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 76:19–23 South Africa is blessed with one of the richest floras in the world, which—not surprisingly—includes many poisonous plants. Theiler in the founding years believed that plants could be involved in the aetiologies of many of the then unexplained conditions of stock, such as gousiekte and geeldikkop. His subsequent investigations of plant poisonings largely laid the foundation for the future Sections of Toxicology at the Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science (UP). The history of research into plant poisonings over the last 100 years is briefly outlined. Some examples of sustained research on important plant poisonings, such as cardiac glycoside poisoning and gousiekte, are given to illustrate our approach to the subject and the progress that has been made. The collation and transfer of infor- mation and the impact of plant poisonings on the livestock industry is discussed and possible avenues of future research are investigated.

  • KEY GRASS SPECIES in VEGETATION UNIT Gm 11: Rand Highveld Grassland in MPUMALANGA PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA
    IDENTIFICATION OF KEY GRASS SPECIES IN VEGETATION UNIT Gm 11: Rand Highveld Grassland IN MPUMALANGA PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA Winston S.W. Trollope & Lynne A. Trollope 22 River Road, Kenton On Sea, 6191, South Africa Cell; 082 200 33373 Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Veld condition refers to the condition of the vegetation in relation to some functional characteristic/s (Trollope, et.al., 1990) and in the case of both livestock production and wildlife management based on grassland vegetation, comprises the potential of the grass sward to produce forage for grazers and its resistance to soil erosion as influenced by the basal and aerial cover of the grass sward. The following procedure was used for developing a key grass species technique for assessing veld condition in the vegetation type Gm 11: Rand Highveld Grassland (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006) in Mpumalanga Province – see Figure 1. Rand Highveld Grassland: Gm11 Figure 1: The Rand Highveld Grassland Gm11 vegetation type located in the highveld area east of Pretoria in Mpumalanga Province (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). The identification of the key grass species is based on the procedure developed by Trollope (1990) viz.. Step 1: Identify and list all the grass species occurring in the study area noting their identification characteristics for use in the field. Step 2: Based on careful observations in the field and consultations with local land users, subjectively classify all the known grass species in the area into Decreaser and Increaser species according to their reaction to a grazing gradient i.e. from high to low grazing intensities, as follows: DECREASER SPECIES: Grass & herbaceous species that decrease when veld is under or over grazed; 2 INCREASER I SPECIES: Grass & herbaceous species that increase when veld is under grazed or selectively grazed; INCREASER II SPECIES: Grass & herbaceous species that increase when veld is over grazed.
