The woody plant, Colophospermum mopane, occurs as either a shrub or tree in shrublands and woodlands, respectively, the central Kruger National Park, South Africa. As first step identifying which soil properties potentially influence structure of C. mopane these landscapes, we investigated chemistry pedoderm woodlands. A total 39 composite samples (0–2 cm) were analysed. Relative to had signifi...
