Biodiversity

Mpumalanga, considerably being human-natures cradle kind of South Africa's "green golden garden".

Nevertheless Barberton region which in particular, hosts that boasts splendored  of biodiversity of all life (genesis) forms provides & nature bestows. This, underpinned sub succumbing testament of prestigious natural(living non-living) livelihood forms constituting intra accounting renowned flora and fauna vegetation, majestic wildlife species as well as natural landscape stretched throughout.

Features the historical environmental nature wonders discoveries: the Barberton Makhonjwa (Greenstone) Belt; Daisy (Gebera jamesoni) flower; archeological geomorphological stones; natural water rivers and springs, bird species and insect populations are profoundly of prominently a miniscule to account cognizance thereof.

Scientifically proven to exist, adapt and adopt unto several nature circumstances, these biodiversity features have sustained survival of diversified livelihood throughout various climatic conditions exposed and endured. It has become evidently that such biodiversity existing has enhanced and advanced to greater levels of relationship habitat groups and specie livelihood.

With the host of various soil types, stone sets, wind variables, climatic seasons, water flows of natural water springs, rivers, stream gushing and vegetation exorbitantly spread throughout have become habitat...

Characteristically, indigenous and alien plantations, vegetation have abruptly grown rapidly. More so are insect and wildlife populations which have synonymously significantly become relative to the environment to the extent that habitats of sorts kind have been formed and sustained growth relevance and development.

Research by geologists and environmentalists concomitants conservationists analysis have suggested that theses biodiversity sets propose unprecedented history, geological formation, adaptation and mineral(composition) wonders in archeological-shared timeline par historical relevance and magnificence such others dating previously towards billions of years.

What found intriguing amusingly accumulates the notion that these elements evolve their survival beings through patterns, origin, quality, quantity and structure generally over generationally over time.

 

 

¡¤         Barberton Makhonjwa (Greenstone belt) Mountain:

The greenstone belt, a geomorphological archeology positioning as worlds only oldest in formation and existence dating 3.6 billion years of age. With stone and rock formation types such be sedimentary, it serves home pride to mineral deposits (gold particularly), natural vegetation consisting flora and fauna.

¡¤         Barberton Rock-stones: 

       Such are geomorphological stone consisting of ancient sedimentary and mineral rock forms,

       mineral bacteria and patterns types. The stones are rich in paleontology specie fossils

       contained within.

Soil types, nutrients and qualities are best remarkably evidently seen and known to be main content contributions.  

¡¤         Flora and Fauna:

Mpumalanga (Barberton) offers a unique savanna biome. The warm climatic season, water lakes and stream aswel as soil-nutrient has provided a favorable growth and sustainable environment. The renowned Barberton daisy prominently outstands best first example from all. Other vegetative flora and fauna possessing certain characteristic aspect sets, be mostly xerophytes: i.e, aloe plants which are vast across amongst.

These have been main food sources for the insects and wildlife species, a habitat structure, and communication element as traces of survival are found.

¡¤         Soil and sand:

The soil composition contents comprises of natural volcanic and rock erosion phenomena. It paved way for various plantation and vegetation growth. It is considerably a natural food resource content; providing essential elements of the food value lie cycle chain. Wildlife veld and homeland residential: bird and chicken specie populations feed-of through the the worms, ants, spiders, bugs contained intra soil and sand. 

¡¤         Water streams and rivers:

Water sources are those mostly constituting from the rivers and streams flowing. Also wetlands, lacks, springs and marches possess potable bulk water content and supply. Diverse animal, and insect and species: fish, snails, scorpions, worms are the most available.

This resource partakes on all courses and forms part of the hydrological cycle and its constituents.

¡¤         Wildlife and species:

Various wildlife and species are mostly found. Butterflies consisting of several structures and color signify the environmental conditions existing within. Reptile lizards, snakes and worms have been predominant. The Kruger National Park (KNP) hosts wildlife veld animals.

 

 

 

 

¡¤         Savanna Biome :

Mpumalanga offers an inclusive-but much warm-associative season. With summer rainfalls and lukewarm winter weather seasons. It is inclusively ideal for all man and wildlife kind.

The Barberton Greenstone belt offers habitat for survival modes. Accommodating several species, the biome has plantation, specie and insect adaptation.

¡¤         Ecosystem:

The ecosystem is broad. Mpumalanga region comprises of an interaction and communication adaptation. Such are imperative catalysts of the lie cycle, contributing to the health and wellness wellbeing. The broad culture and traditional affair has been developed and sustains to grow. The system provide ecological life, balance and support.

Photosynthesis value chain and water cycles gain and contribute to the system as plantation growth(water lilies)  sustain dominance, feeding as habitat and food source for species.

      

These natural biodiversity aspects have contributed exorbitantly towards the socio-economic norms of livelihoods.

Community inhabitants, especially those whom reside nearby have provided honorable socio- economic: health, economy, patronage have found and created socio-economic health benefits.

The Barberton Greenstone belt grass marches are used as for manufacturing outside gardening-brooms.

Natural traditional herbs have also been discovered and used as cure and treatment for certain illnesses.

The mountain springs and lakes are natural purification norms for the rivers and dam catchments.

Trees and branches on the mountain land forests, savanna fields are grown, producing atmospheric purification and their leaves provide fertilizer manure.

The biodiversity has contributed to local market economy especially the tourism sector benefitted due to a large number of tourist site conducting site visits for the view of the Barberton Daisy particularly.

Global academics from respective education institutions frequently arrive to conduct environmental studies and examine geology studies, research and investigations.

 

Barberton biodiversity is significant in the role as the golden garden in Mpumalanga.
