Why are savannas important?
• Savannas dominate 25 % of the global land surface and 20-25 % of Australia.
• They sequester c. 31.3 Pg C y-1 & account for c. 25 % of global GPP
• They support 20 % of the world’s human population
• In Australia, savanna accounts for 33 % of terrestrial carbon stores: they are a sink for carbon
• Savanna structure and productivity is influenced by annual rainfall, soil nutrients, CO2 fertilisation, herbivory and fire.
• The Northern Territory comprises c. 33 % of total savanna cover in Australia.
• Australian savannas are unique due to their minimal fragmentation, low human population density and vegetation structure.
