Spiny plants, mammal browsers, and the origin of African savannas
T Charles-Dominique, TJ Davies… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Savannas first began to spread across Africa during the Miocene. A major hypothesis for
explaining this vegetation change is the increase in C4 grasses, promoting fire. We …
