    Abstract
    Savannas, characterized by the co-dominance of herbaceous and woody vegetation, support an estimated 20% of the global human population and account for ~30% of terrestrial net primary productivity. Interactions among savanna trees and grasses determine important ecosystem functions such as hydrological and biogeochemical cycles and production and transpiration rates, and impact the availability of resources (fuel-wood, grass for livestock) fundamental for human wellbeing. Additionally, interactions among trees may be an important driver of savanna vegetation structure, though few existing studies ...
