Eighty-five years ago, Africa was described as a land of promise because it provided an immense opportunity for maximum return in the minimum time (Olaniyan 2000). It was treated this way because ...
Dispersal and coastal geomorphology limit potential for mangrove range expansion under climate change
(Wiley, 2022)
Latitudinal range limits for mangroves on high-energy,
wave-dominated
coasts
are controlled by geomorphological features and estuarine dynamics. Mangroves
reach a southern global range limit along the South African ...
Iterative mapping of marine ecosystems for spatial status assessment, prioritization, and decision support
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
South Africa has taken an iterative approach to marine ecosystem mapping over
18 years that has provided a valuable foundation for ecosystem assessment,
planning and decision-making, supporting improved ecosystem-based ...
Is penguin circovirus circulating only in the antarctic circle? Lack of viral detection in namibia
(MDPI, 2023)
The known host range of circoviruses is continuously expanding because of more intensive diagnostic activities and advanced sequencing tools. Recently, a new circovirus (penguin
circovirus (PenCV)) was identified in the ...

(AOSIS, 2008)
The South African Association for Marine Biological
Research, incorporating Sea World, Oceanographic
Research Institute and the Dolphinarium relocated

(Magnolia Press, 2014)
Here we describe in detail two crustose coralline red algal (CCA) species newly reported for the southern Atlantic:

Development of a compendium of local, wild-harvested species used in the informal economy trade, Cape Town, South Africa
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
Wild harvesting has taken place over millennia in Africa. However urbanization and cash economies have
effectively altered harvesting from being cultural, traditional, and subsistence activities that are part of a rural ...
Cross-shelf movement of chrysaora fulgida (scyphozoa; discomedusae) off namibia inferred from stable isotopes (δ15n and δ13c)
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)
Large and small specimens of two species of metagenic Scyphozoa (true jellyfishes) can be found in nearshore waters off central Namibia throughout the year. Whereas populations of Chrysaora ...
Renosterveld conservation in South Africa: A case study for handling uncertainty in knowledge-based neural networks for environmental management
(International Society for Environmental Information Sciences, 2009)
This work presents an artificial intelligence method for the development of decision support systems for environmental
management and demonstrates its strengths using an example from the domain of biodiversity and ...
Nitrogen fertilization increases the growth and nutritional quality of the forage legume, Calobota sericea – A preliminary investigation
(Elsevier, 2023)
Calobota sericea is being evaluated as a forage for drought stressed areas. The nutritional quality
of C. sericea from native populations are poor, and this is believed to be due to poor soil fertility.
Therefore, a ...
