Abstract:

In this chapter we summarise results of the long-term interdisciplinary BIOTA study investigating the impacts of landuse and climate change on the dynamics and sustainable use of biodiversity in the Thornbush Savanna Biome of southern Africa. This study successfully integrated remote sensing methods, eco-hydrological approaches, and ecological research with socio-economic aspects by combining empirical and modelling approaches. Keywords: BIOTA Africa, Biodiversity, Thornbush Savanna, Biome, Animal diversity, Vegetation diversity, Landuse, Climate change, Ecology, Spatial analysis.
