Virtual Library

The BIOFUND Virtual Library is an online archive of information on Mozambique’s biodiversity, organized along the lines suggested by the Convention on Biodiversity’s Clearing House Mechanism. The Virtual Library will strive to make available all the documents, studies, reports, articles, educational and communications materials, maps and digital files that have been produced, to serve as a repository of our collective institutional memory as a conservation community. The usefulness of the Virtual Library will improve the more we share amongst ourselves. If you have any materials that are not currently part of the Virtual Library, please click on "Add Document" and become a contributor.

Late Quaternary vegetation development and disturbance dynamics from a peatland on Mount Gorongosa, central Mozambique	McWethy, D. Et al.	2016
General Province Sofala Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Quaternary Science Reviews Description/Abstract Few long-term climate and environmental records are available for southeast Africa where millennial scale shifts in the north-south position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and changes in Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures interact with local controls (e.g., fire, hydrology) to influence vegetation and ecosystem dynamics. Reconstruction of late-Pleistocene e Holocene environmental change from peat sediments obtained from Mount Gorongosa, central Mozambique, provides insight into vegetation, climate and disturbance interactions over the past c. 27 kyr.

Use of space and habitat by elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the Maputo Elephant Reserve, Mozambique	Ntumi, C. Et al.	2004
General Province Maputo Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity South African Journal of Wildlife Research Description/Abstract Satellite tracking units fitted to five elephants in the Maputo Elephant Reserve provided information on habitat use.We used the CALHOME program with Adaptive Kernel and MCP (minimum convex polygon) techniques to calculate home range sizes.We interpreted vegetation use by elephants using a vegetation map in conjunction with ArcView GIS. The home range areas (90% adaptive kernel) of cows ranged from 169–267 km2, while that of a bull measured 453 km2. The core areas (50% adaptive kernel) covered less than 6% of the reserve’s area.

Adaptive management of the invasive shrub Mimosa pigra at Gorongosa National Park	Beilfuss, R.	2007
General Province Sofala Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity GNP Description/Abstract Mimosa pigra, one of the 100 "World's Worst" invasive species (Global Invasive Species Database), is a highly aggressive shrub that poses a serious threat to biodiversity, water resources, and tourism at Gorongosa National Park. Mimosa is native to tropical America, but has invaded ecosystems worldwide including Africa, Asia, Pacific islands, and Australia, favoring a wet-dry tropical climate with at least 750 mm annual rainfall. Mimosa is wellestablished on the floodplains, pans, and waterways of Gorongosa, and may be poised to expand rapidly in the future if it is not effectively managed.

The greatest abundance and diversity of larger mammals is concentrated in the Rift Valley, where buffalo are numerically dominant (now c 15000). The largest species spectrum is contributed by neotragids (5) followed by 3 each of cephalophids, tragelaphids and alcephalids (with tsessebe recently extinct from the region) (Table 9.1). A total of 27 ungulates (2 recently extinct locally) occur in the system, with 9 larger carnivores (Fig 9.1).

General Province Todas as Províncias Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity One World Analytics Description/Abstract Our research focused primarily on documents that make reference to Mozambique and to cases where existing distribution data suggests Mozambique is a likely source for the species. This imposes two limitations on the research. First, we focus on identifying species that are a focus of existing research and development. However, the report does not seek to provide the complete global patent landscape for an individual species. Second, because we focused on identifying species from a country we did not search patent data for references to regions (i.e. Africa) or sub-regions (i.e. Southern Africa) in the patent data. To address this issue we deliberately highlight cases where a species is distributed in more than one African country.

This resulted in a green flush of the Mopane as well as a sudden, large supply and wide distribution of water. Due to the nature of the work, the large areas to be flown, high temperatures and crew required, a Bell 206 Jet ranger helicopter was used. This was integral to the success of the operation.
