Description

Assessing the effects of Pinus radiata on lizard assemblages and their associated thermal landscape and prey availability in native mountain fynbos, intermediately invaded fynbos and pine forests, in the Western Cape. Lizards were surveyed in Jonkershoek Nature Reserve and Witzenberg Mountain Range to examine species richness, abundance and diversity.

Notes

There are limited studies investigating the impacts of alien invasive plants on lizard assemblages, more specifically the effects of Pinus radiata on lizard assemblages.
