Individual species response to grazing, physical disturbance, competition and fire was analyzed at a population-level and community-level in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (34˚ 05’ E; 02˚ 04’ S). Three ecologically different grassland communities (short-, mid- and tall-grass) were examined over a five year study. Vegetative cover (live and dead biomass), species diversity and species abundance were recorded across the three sites by utilizing a point-frequency frame. Three orthogonal contrasts in addition to effects of grazing and community cover and diversity were made for each of the three grassland communities.
