Essential metal and metalloid elements in the Philippi Horticultural area, and their uptake into selected vegetable crops
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
This study evaluated Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Se, Sn and V status in the soils of the PHA, as well as the vegetables produced on these soils. We also determined the agronomic sources of these elements to the soils in the PHA. ...

Will climate warming exceed lethal photosynthetic temperature thresholds of lichens in a southern African arid region?
(Wiley, 2013)
Predicted elevated temperatures and a shift from a winter to summer rainfall pattern associated with global warming could result in the exposure of hydrated lichens during summer to more numerous temperature extremes that ...
Conservation status of large branchiopods in the Western Cape, South Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Temporary wetlands are an ecologically and economically important habitat in South Africa. They harbor large branchiopods, known to be flagship species of nonpermanent aquatic habitats, and sensitive to land use changes. ...
Groundwater discharges to aquatic ecosystems associated with the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer: a conceptual model
(Water Research Commission, 2008)
This paper reports on a conceptual model that was developed to describe the different groundwater discharge ‘types’ from
the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer, that contributes to the different components of the flow ...
Morphological and physiological responses of Calobota sericea plants subjected to water limitation and subsequent rewatering
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)
Calobota sericea is a native legume of South Africa, confined to the water-limited rangelands, and it has recently
been prioritised for additional characterisation regarding its pasture potential. In this study, we examined ...
