Michael D. Cheek et al., « The value of arboreta in South Africa », South African Journal of Science, ID : 10670/1.013xl1
SIGNIFICANCE: • Arboreta are documented, living collections of ligneous species cultivated for research, education and display. • Arboreta are a valuable resource for the forestry industry as gene banks. • Arboreta, together with botanic gardens, form a useful network of sentinel sites for plant pathogens and invasive species. • A survey of the species composition and status of arboreta in South Africa would be an important contribution to our botanical knowledge.
