Summary Positive biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships (BEFRs) have been widely documented, but it is unclear if BEFRs should be expected in disturbance‐driven systems. Disturbance may limit competition and niche differentiation, which are frequently posited to underlie BEFRs. We provide the first exploration of relationship between tree species diversity biomass, one measure ecosystem function, across southern African woodlands savannas, an ecological system rife with disturbance...
This study delves into the ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) practiced by pastoralists along transhumance routes in southwestern Angola. Within framework of three cooperation projects, we conducted 434 interviews, collecting information on 89 taxa used for treating 16 livestock diseases. The most cited species was Ptaeroxylon obliquum (132 citations), followed Salvadora persica (59) and Elaeodendron transvaalense (49). Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) disease (223 citations; 44...
Seasonally dry woodlands are the dominant land cover across southern Africa. They biodiverse, structurally complex, and important for ecosystem service provision. Species composition structure vary region producing a diverse array of woodland types. The Huíla plateau in southwest Angola represent extreme southwestern extent miombo ecoregion markedly drier than other within this ecoregion. remain understudied, however, compared to further east We aimed elucidate tree diversity found Angolan...
Hunting and related bushmeat trade are activities which negatively impact wildlife worldwide, with serious implications for biodiversity conservation. Angola’s fauna was severely decimated during the long-lasting civil war following country’s independence. During a round trip from Lubango (Huíla province), passing through provinces of Benguela, Cuanza sul, Luanda, Bengo finally to Uíge, we documented variety trade, mainly along roadside. This included snakes, rodents, duikers, antelopes,...
Angola has an extraordinary plant diversity and a great ethnobotanical potential. However, there is general lack of information about the first botanical explorations in country their contribution to knowledge medicinal flora.
Background: The African genus Schistostephium has eight species in southern and south tropical Africa. most widely distributed species, crataegifolium, occurs upland or montane areas towards the eastern side of continent.Objectives: objective this study was to document a new geographic distribution record from Bié Plateau central Angola.Method: Specimens S. crataegifolium were collected near Chitembo, Province, during fieldwork for Future Okavango Project grant 01LL0912A, task SP05, project...
Angola is a country in south-central Africa, particularly rich biodiversity. Despite the efforts recently made to document its biodiversity, there need for standardized sampling methods and compare variety of ecosystems plants occurring country. With this database report we aim abundance diversity woody species woodlands Huíla province. The hosts results standardised plot-based vegetation survey, consisting 448 plots distributed throughout 14 municipalities Bicuar National Park. In total,...
Este estudo constitui um ensaio na compreensão e aprofundamento dos conhecimentos sobre os costumes povos da província Huíla em relação a utilização recursos fitológicos, tanto alimentação como medicina. Os dados foram obtidos trabalhos de campo por meio revisão bibliográfica. Duas espécies vegetais analisadas, Securidaca longipedunculata Fresen, as raízes planta são utilizadas nivel local analgésico; porém estudos realizados outros países indicam que todos órgãos desta espécie medicinais,...

O Parque Nacional do Bicuar possui uma área de 7.900 km2 e localiza-se na província da Huíla, ascendeu à esta categoria em 1964. Pretendeu-se, com esse trabalho, caracterizar a diversidade florística das espécies arbóreas averiguar as ameaças que poderão ter implicações gestão conservação biodiversidade no parque. Seleccionamos cinco (5), quinze (15) parcelas permanentes estabelecidas para amostragem vegetação (10.000 m2), onde todas árvores DAP ≥ 5 cm foram medidas, devidamente...
