Abstract
⺠This work addresses the impact of climate change on vegetation dynamics in Africa. ⺠Focusing on protected areas, we assessed changes in dynamics over the last 27 years. ⺠Our results support current expectations regarding the impacts of climate change. ⺠We found no correlation between changes in vegetation dynamics and human activity. ⺠Protected areas can help track climate change effects on ecosystem functioning.
