Abstract

Elephant faeces from the Knysna Forest were sown in nursery boxes on a monthly basis for a full year. Even after allowing sufficient time for the possible prolonged germination time of some tree species it was found that the Knysna elephants, in contrast to elephants elsewhere in Africa, do not play an important role in seed dispersal of the forest vegetation.
