Long term soil physico-chemical and microbial recovery monitoring after Eucalyptus camaldulensis clearing

This proposed study will focus on changes in soil physico-chemical and bacterial properties ten years after Eucalyptus camaldulensis removal along the Berg River in the Western Cape, South Africa. The aim will be to quantify the long‐term consequences of E. camaldulensis clearing on soil physico-chemical and bacterial properties.

The water-related economic consequences of failing to adequately halt the spread of invasive alien trees in the Western Cape

The project aims to quantify the economic impacts of changes to the Western Cape water supplies resulting from different invasive alien tree control scenarios.
