dc.descriptionTo provide more detailed data that has more resolution in terms of identifying ecological processes, Fixed-Point Repeat Photography has been presented as a management “solution”. However, photography remains a difficult method to standardize subjects and has certain operational limitations. These include: weather conditions (poor visibility results in poor images), camera resolution (a low resolution will underestimate the number of a small plants or amount of flowers and fruits/seeds), shadows and image bright spots result in an effective loss of data. Also, photography will always have "depth of field" problems and perspective distortions. This study aimed to develop an effective method of high-definition fixed-point repeated parallel panoramic photography that overcame these limitations to assess post-fire Mountain Fynbos succession.
dc.description.abstractAreas of high biodiversity and complex species assemblages are often difficult to manage and to set up meaningful monitoring and evaluations programmes. Mountain Fynbos is such an ecosystem and in the Cape of Good Hope (part of the Table Mountain National Park) plant biodiversity over the last five decades has been in decline. The reasons are difficult to speculate since large herbivores, altered fire regimes and even climate change could be contributors to this decline which has been quantified using fixed quadrats and standard cover-abundance estimates based on a Braun-Blanquet methodology.
