Study sites and their location, herbivore assemblage type, feeding guilds and densities (in tropical livestock unit TLU ha−1).

= mono-specific wildlife site, MixWLow and MixWHigh = mixed-species wildlife sites of low and high herbivore densities, respectively; MonoL and MixL = mono-specific and mixed-species livestock sites of high density, respectively. The total number of transects and plots for grazing impact recording and herbaceous layer assessment, respectively, is given. KNP = Kruger National Park, Mnisi = communal grazing land outside of KNP.
