An article on a 40-year, long-term data set from Namaqualand, co-authored by Dr Helga van der Merwe, Research Career Award Fellow at SAEON’s Arid Lands Node (pictured), was considered for the Applied Vegetation Science Editors Awards and is mentioned in this Editorial – see highlighted section.
Says Helga: “I’m glad the world outside is starting to see how important long-term monitoring is!” |
