The Consequences of Precipitation Seasonality for Mediterranean-Ecosystem Vegetation of South Africa.
Globally, mediterranean-climate ecosystem vegetation has converged on an evergreen, sclerophyllous and shrubby growth form. The particular aspects of mediterranean-climate regions that contribute to this convergence include summer droughts and relatively nutrient-poor soils. We hypothesised that win...
