Many shades of green: the dynamic tropical forest–savannah transition zones
- Abstract:
-
The forest-savanna transition is the most widespread ecotone in tropical areas, separating two of the most productive terrestrial ecosystems. Here we review current understanding of the factors that shape this transition, and how it may change under various drivers of local or global change. At broadest scales the location of the transition is shaped by water availability, mediated strongly at local scales by fire regimes, herbivory pressure and spatial variation in soil properties.
