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.

Hierarchy and scale: testing the long term role of water, grazing and nitrogen in the savanna landscape of Limpopo National Park (Mozambique)	Ekblom, A. & Gillson, L.	2010
General Province Gaza Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Landscape Ecol Description/Abstract This paper compares vegetation dynamics at two sites in the savanna landscape of Limpopo National Park (PNL), Mozambique. In order to test the relationship between vegetation cover and hydrology, nutrient availability and disturbance from grazing and fire over the last 1,200 years at local (100 m2) scales, we use palaeoecological data (i.e. pollen assemblages, charcoal abundance, C/N ratio, stable isotopes and herbivore-associated spore abundance).

The discovery, biodiversity and conservation of Mabu forest— the largest medium altitude rainforest in southern Africa	Bayliss, J. Et al.	S/D
General Province Nampula; Zambézia Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract The montane inselbergs of northern Mozambique have been comparatively little-studied, yet recent surveys have shown they have a rich biodiversity with numerous endemic species. Here we present the main findings from a series of scientific expeditions to one of these inselbergs, Mt Mabu, and discuss the conservation implications. Comprehensive species lists of plants, birds, mammals and butterflies are presented. The most significant result was the discovery of a c. 7,880 ha block of undisturbed rainforest, most of it at medium altitude (900–1,400 m), a forest type that is not well represented elsewhere. It is possibly the largest continuous block of this forest type in southern Africa.

Positional accuracy of the drainage networks extracted from ASTER and SRTM for the Gorongosa National Park region – Comparative analysis	Carmo, T. & Fonte, C.	2015
General Province Sofala Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are useful for a great quantity and diversity of applications, namely for hydrologic studies that require the identification of hydrographic basins and water lines. Basins’ boundaries and the hydrographic network can be automatically extracted from DEMs, therefore their accuracy is influenced by the DEMs accuracy. Hence, it is important to control the influence of DEMs errors over the features extracted from them, since differences may be found that influence the basins’ management and/or the modeling of other phenomena.

Mozambique: Preliminary Assessment of the Status and Distribution of Cheetah	Purchase, G.	2007
General Province Todas as Províncias Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity CAT News Special Issue 3 – Cheetahs in Southern Africa Description/Abstract Historically cheetah were relatively widespread in Mozambique with records from the north, west and southern parts of the country. More recently significant populations were only known to exist in the north west corner of Tete Province, and within and on the periphery of the Limpopo Valley and Bauhine National Parks. Previous assessments of population concluded that hunting cheetahs for skins had reduced its ranged within the country, as well as a reduction in prey populations. This assessment indicates that the population of cheetahs appears to have further declined, with recent records only reported from the north west of Tete Province.

General Province Sofala Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2012.05.003 Additional Information Publishing Entity World Development Description/Abstract Debates about the potential poverty alleviation impacts of global carbon markets are far from settled. We extend this debate by examining the impacts of a project in Mozambique that pays local people for carbon forestry activities. We conduct before-and-after project comparison using household data from project and non-project villages. Even though the poorest households participate widely in the project, the impact on incomes is small despite generous carbon accounting and contract terms. Leakage and impermanence remain strong concerns. Development activities under the project unrelated to carbon sequestration have a much bigger impact, albeit on a smaller number of households.

General Province Sofala Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) 2008-2012 External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Biodiversity Foundation for Africa Description/Abstract Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas.

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.

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.
