Biodiversity conservation
During the dry season, Grewia bicolor is a necessary fodder for pure browsing species such as the Western Giant eland (Taurotragus derbianus derbianus, a critically endangered antelope). Grewia bicolor and other woody savanna species should thus be considered for conservation in enclosures (Hejcmanova et al., 2010). However, the extremely dense foliage of Grewia bicolor can also impede access by browsers, thus reducing availability (Pellew, 1980).
