Namibia: Farm management can have a strong impact on the species composition of the vegetation. The picture shows a water point on the farm Duruchaus in central Namibia. The predominant grazing by sheep and goats on that farm for more than 20 years already caused strong differences in the vegetation compared to the neighbouring farm.

|
Morocco: The Capparaceae Maerua crassifolia is an Sahelian element that occurs south of the Anti Atlas. These ecosystems constitute the southern end of the BIOTA Maroc transect.

Namibia: Grazing can have a strong impact on the composition of plant cover. The photo shows the farm Duruchaus in central Namibia (right hand side of the fence) where intensive grazing by a high number of sheep and goats caused differences in the species composition of the vegetation compared to the neighbouring farm (cattle farming): there is a lower cover by perennial grasses and palatable dwarf shrubs.
