To establish an understanding of the long-term community dynamics of the Knysan forests, and gain a better understanding of the impacts of colonial exploitation of the forests agains a background of environmental change, sediments were extracted from the lake shore of Groenvlei, an endorheic coastal vlei in the Wilderness Lake system on the southern Cape coast, some 10 km from the present-day forest core. These sediments were described, dated by radiocarbon means and subsampled for the analysis of fossil pollen and charcoal particles, environmental proxies used respectively to infer a vegetation and fire history for the region. 2014-07-31T08:04:36Z 2014-07-31T08:04:36Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4847 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
