Review of in-situ and remote sensing-based indices and their applicability for integrated drought monitoring in South Africa
(MDPI, 2023)
The devastating socioeconomic impacts of recent droughts have intensified the need for
improved drought monitoring in South Africa (SA). This study has shown that not all indices can be
universally applicable at all ...
Understanding climate change effects on the potential distribution of an important pollinator species, Ceratina moerenhouti (Apidae: Ceratinini), in the Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2023)
Monitoring key pollinator taxa such as the genus Ceratina requires precise near real-time predictions to facilitate
better surveillance. The potential habitat suitability of Ceratina moerenhouti was predicted in the Eastern ...
A multi-proxy provenance study of late carboniferous to middle Jurassic sandstones in the Eastern Sverdrup basin and its bearing on arctic palaeogeographic reconstructions
(MDPI, 2023)
A multi-proxy provenance study of Late Carboniferous to Middle Jurassic sandstones
from the eastern Sverdrup Basin was undertaken employing optical petrography and heavy mineral
analysis, chemical analysis of apatite, ...
Identification and delineation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) in the Khakea–Bray transboundaryaquifer region using geospatial techniques
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Identifying and delineating groundwater-dependent ecosystems(GDEs) is critical in understanding their location, distribution andgroundwater allocation. However, this information is inadequatelyunderstood due to limited ...
Progress in the remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) has increased substantially in recent years. Of
significant prominence, is the delineation and mapping of groundwater-dependent vegetation (GDV), species
diversity, ...
Carbon stock prediction in managed forest ecosystems using Bayesian and frequentist geostatistical techniques and new generation remote sensing metrics
(MDPI, 2023)
The study compares the performance of a hierarchical Bayesian geostatistical methodology
with a frequentist geostatistical approach, specifically, Kriging with External Drift (KED), for
predicting C stock using prediction ...
Feasibility of solar-powered groundwater pumping systems in rural areas of greater Giyani municipality (Limpopo, South Africa)
(MDPI, 2023)
Rural areas in Limpopo Province (South Africa) are in urgent need of interventions for
safe and secure water supply to adapt to climatic changes and the increased frequency of droughts.
A feasibility study was conducted ...
Modelling soil water redistribution in irrigated Japanese plum (prunus salicina) orchards in the Western Cape (South Africa)
(MDPI, 2023)
Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) farming in the Western Cape (South Africa) is an important
industry for the export market and job creation and is a large water user; however, adequate information
on water requirements ...
Progress in the remote sensing of veld fire occurrence and detection: A review
(Wiley, 2023)
Our research provides a detailed overview of the progress in remotely sensed fire
monitoring techniques, which have been developed and employed for fire occurrence
and detection. Our overview is provided from a literature ...
Effect of temperature on microorganisms and nitrogen removal in a multi-stage surface flow constructed wetland
(MDPI, 2023)
The effect of low temperature on microbial nitrogen metabolism in constructed wetlands has yet to be extensively investigated. In this study, we analyzed the effects of temperature changes on nitrogen-associated microorganisms ...
