This is an ABSTRACT ONLY.The long-term effects of changing fire regimes on the herbaceous component of savannas are poorly understood but essential for understanding savanna dynamics. We present results from one of the longest running (>44 years) fire experiments in savannas, the experimental burn plots (EBPs), which is located in the Kruger National Park (South Africa) and encompasses four major savanna vegetation types that span broad spatial gradients of rainfall (450–700mm) and soil fertility.enSavannasFire frequencyFire seasonKruger National ParkHerbaceous vegetationClimateGrassFire intensityHerbivorySoilFertilityArticleSmith, M., Van Wilgen, B., Burns, C., Govender, N., Potgieter, A., Andelman, S., ...
