Biggs, H. C. and K. M. Rogers. 2003. Ecology and management of savanna heterogeneity.Du Toit, J., K. M. Rogers and H. C. Biggs [eds.]. The Kruger Experience:.Island Press.

Kruger National Park in South Africa has one of the most extensive sets of records of any protected area in the world, and throughout its history has supported connections between science and management. In recognition of that long-standing tradition comes The Kruger Experience , the first book on a century of ecological research and anagement in two million hectares of African savanna. The Kruger Experience places the scientific and management experience in Kruger within the framework of modern ecological theory and its practical applications. The book uses a cross-cutting theme of ecological heterogeneity—the idea that ecological systems function across a full hierarchy of physical and biological components, processes, and scales, in a dynamic space-time mosaic. Contributors, who nclude many esteemed ecologists who have worked in Kruger in recent years, examine a range of topics covering road taxonomic groupings and ecological processes. The book is an invaluable new resource for scientists and managers involved with large, conserved ecosystems as well as for conservation practitioners and others with nterests in adaptive management, the societal context of conservation, links between research and management in parks and parks/academic partnerships........
