Vachellia V. karroo
Also known as: Acacia karroo, uMunga
Vachellia karroo is used in the Implats demo as a hardy rehabilitation species for disturbed mine slopes, erosion control, and dust-buffer vegetation.
Used on exposed slopes where root establishment, erosion control, and browsing pressure must be monitored.
Field teams record erosion pins, soil cover, water stress, and canopy recovery alongside sensor telemetry.
Not positioned as a monetised IKS asset in the Implats demo.

Widely used and studied as a resilient southern African savanna species.
TNFD savanna and disturbed-land rehabilitation evidence for mine-closure planning.
