Bushland - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Bushland refers to a type of vegetation found in the drier lowlands of eastern Africa and the Horn of Africa, characterized by low-growing, spiny, and leafless woody plants such as Acacia and Commiphora It is rich in species and distinct in flora and fauna compared to wetter woodland regions
Climatic impacts of bushland to cropland conversion in Eastern Africa Bushland-to-cropland conversion causes a potential decrease in ET (P < 0 01; Fig 3 d) The decrease in ET is consistent with higher temperature and is built into the ET model ET decreased on average by −0 45 mm day −1 (SD 0 29) in Mwatate and −0 41 mm day −1 (SD 0 31) in Ndome The average change in ET was comparable in magnitude in
An underrated habitat: Residential gardens support similar mammal . . . Within these bushland environments a total of 27 native and eight introduced terrestrial mammals occur (Van Dyck et al , 2013; DBCA, 2019), of which many are known to also use residential areas (e g Tidemann and Flavel, 1987; Van Helden et al , 2020; Van Helden et al , 2019) Five of these native mammals are arboreal, nine are flying and 13
Urban native vegetation remnants support more diverse native bee . . . Bushland remnants hosted more species, and rare and unique species, than did residential gardens Native bee body-size and nesting guilds varied in their response to habitat type Native bee abundance and richness increased with abundance of native plant species, but decreased with total flower species richness
Local engagements with urban bushland: Moving beyond bounded practice . . . The twenty-two hectare Croom bushland (Fig 2) is part of a larger area of green space that includes sports grounds, bike tracks, horse arenas, and a BMX track The bushland itself has a network of formal and informal tracks As well as sportsgrounds, it is surrounded by roads, suburbs, a graveyard, and private pastureland
Deforestation, urbanisation and seasonality: Interacting effects on a . . . Species' responses to bushland clearance and development were cross-classified, from this study versus: (a) density differences between bushland and suburbs in part of the Brisbane City area (Catterall et al , 1991); (b) quantitative frequency changes between early 1900s and late 1980s in the Western Australian wheatbelt (Saunders 1993a, b
Fragmentation and internal disturbance of native vegetation reserves in . . . More bushland has been lost closer to the city centre, and it is hypothesised that bushland remnants closer to the Central Business District (CBD) will display higher levels of fragmentation Distance from the Perth CBD was calculated using Bush Forever GIS data, and measured from maps for Darling Range sites 2 4 4 Encapsulation period
Investigating factors underlying why householders remain in at-risk . . . Despite this, while more than 78 % of the fatalities occurred within 30 m of the bushland, 64 % of civilians deaths may be traced to the top 10 worst bushfires in Australia [24] Historically, Australia's fatality rate is 1 death per 21 homes destroyed by bushfire, while it is 1 death per 13 homes considering 2009 Black Saturday [ 37 ]
Defining greenspace: Multiple uses across multiple disciplines “Greenspace is defined as any vegetated land adjoining an urban area …and includes bushland, nature reserves, national parks, outdoor sports fields, school playgrounds and rural or semi-rural areas immediately adjoining an urban area ” (Chong et al , 2013)
