Non-selective defoliation by mowing and burning has long-term selective effects on mesic grassland in South Africa

Craig D Morris; Kevin P Kirkman African Journal of Range and Forage Science 2026. doi:10.2989/10220119.2025.2604847

Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Burning and dormant-season mowing differed significantly in species-composition effects.
Intervention effect Burning and dormant-season mowing did not differ significantly in diversity effects.
Intervention effect Summer mowing additionally influenced grassland responses.
Intervention effect Annual dormant-season mowing without summer mowing caused the largest shifts in dominant and subdominant grasses.
Intervention effect Annual burning with two summer mows had the least effect on dominant and subdominant grasses.
Intervention effect Burning and mowing favored Themeda triandra.
Intervention effect Aristida junciformis thrived under mowing.
Intervention effect Tristachya leucothrix thrived under mowing.
Intervention effect Annual burning largely maintained original dominant and subdominant grasses.
Intervention effect Mowing shifted grass composition, especially promoting A. junciformis.
Recommendation The authors conclude mowing cannot substitute for burning.
