Nama-Karoo
The Nama Karoo is a semi-desert region and is the second largest biome in South Africa, which can be best described as a vast open landscape dominated by grassy and dwarf shrubs. The biome is located on the central plateau of the western half South Africa and Lime-rich soil makes up about 80 percent of the soil type. The area have summer rainfall but only 100 to 520 millimetres per year.
Linkage:
Although this biome do not high species of species diversity all the species describe is well adapted to living in this harsh landscape and should be admired for their survival strategies. Since only about 1% of the biome is conserved, agriculture (Mainly overgrazing) and invasive species (prickly pear and Mesquite in particular). Vegetation is crucial as supports all species either directly or indirectly. Conservation managers should take drastic actions to preserve the little endemism present in this biome. Linkages between all species described strong and conservation efforts should include an all-species perspective. Focus should be aimed at improving ecosystem interactions.
