Proposed long-term monitoring protocol and applications for Aloidendron dichotomum populations

At present, the 12 surveyed South African A. dichotomum populations appear to be in good health and are recruiting. Our study highlights that the choice of population surveyed is of importance and that a wide range of populations in close proximity to one another and at different sites situated far apart have to be surveyed in order to produce an unbiased assessment of populations.
