英文摘要	We investigated stable carbon isotope ratios of soil organic matter in the forests of the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal. Analysis of soil profiles in the forest indicated a shift from C-3 to C-4 vegetation with depth. These results suggest that the area now covered by mature, tall forest in the region was once grassland. These findings support the hypothesis that the grasslands of KwaZulu-Natal are older than previously thought.
