However, individuals that had been affected by regular fires, or repeatedly harvested, appeared prone to a fungal disease and had high percentage mortality. The populations occurring on private land appeared the most vigorous. Habitat in one protected area had been reduced through the construction of a dam. In another, small W. salutaris populations exhibited a shrubby growth form, probably due to frequent fires. Our current knowledge for this species supports a global IUCN status of EN A4acd. Plant conservation needs to become a higher priority both within and outside protected areas. Commercially harvested populations should be better managed through improved harvesting techniques and monitoring. Cultivation levels urgently need to be increased. Further research should be conducted on factors limiting regeneration, including the most appropriate fire regime.]]> Fri 10 May 2024 15:53:06 SAST ]]> The fuelwood crisis in southern Africa: Relating fuelwood use to livelihoods in a rural village https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43730 Fri 10 May 2024 15:52:27 SAST ]]> Socio-economic differentiation in the trade of wildlife species for traditional medicines in the Lowveld, South Africa: Implications for resource management initiatives https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43909 Fri 10 May 2024 15:51:48 SAST ]]> Market profiles and trade in medicinal plants in the Lowveld, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6625 Fri 10 May 2024 15:50:46 SAST ]]> Harvesting impacts on commonly used medicinal tree species (Catha edulis and Rapanea melanophloeos) under different land management regimes in the Mpumalanga Lowveld, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43728 Fri 10 May 2024 15:49:58 SAST ]]>
