Characterizing the spatio-temporal variations of C3 and C4 dominated grasslands aboveground biomass in the Drakensberg, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2018)
C3 and C4 grass species composition, with different physiological, morphological and most importantly phenological
characteristics, influence Aboveground Biomass (AGB) and their ability to provide ecosystem goods
and ...
The impact of land-use/land cover changes on water balance of the heterogeneous Buzi sub-catchment, Zimbabwe
(Elsevier, 2020)
The nature of interactions between ecological, physical and hydrological characteristics that determine the effects
of land cover change on surface and sub-surface hydrology is not well understood in both natural ...
Determining optimal new generation satellite derived metrics for accurate C3 and C4 grass species aboveground biomass estimation in South Africa
(MDPI, 2018)
While satellite data has proved to be a powerful tool in estimating C3 and C4 grass species
Aboveground Biomass (AGB), finding an appropriate sensor that can accurately characterize the
inherent variations remains a ...
Discrimination of tomato plants (solanum lycopersicum) grown under anaerobic baffled reactor effluent, nitrified urine concentrates and commercial hydroponic fertilizer regimes using simulated sensor spectral settings
(MPDI, 2019)
We assess the discriminative strength of three different satellite spectral settings (HyspIRI, the forthcoming Landsat 9 and Sentinel 2-MSI), in mapping tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Linnaeus) plants grown under hydroponic ...
Advancements in satellite remote sensing for mapping and monitoring ofalien invasive plant species (AIPs)
(Elsevier, 2019)
Detecting and mapping the occurrence, spatial distribution and abundance of Alien Invasive Plants (AIPs) have recently gained substantial attention, globally. This work, therefore, provides an overview of advancements in ...
Effect of landscape pattern and spatial configuration of vegetation patches on urban warming and cooling in Harare metropolitan city, Zimbabwe
(Bellweather Publishing, 2021)
The spatial configuration of vegetation patches in the landscape has implications for the provision of ecosystem services, human adaptation to climate change, enhancement, or mitigation of urban heat island. Until recently, ...
Pansharpened landsat 8 thermal-infrared data for improved land surface temperature characterization in a heterogeneous urban landscape
(Elsevier, 2022)
Challenges associated with adolescents are prevalent in South African societies. During the adolescence stage, children may become involved in deviant behaviour. Although a significant number of studies have focused on the ...
Assessing edge effect on the spatial distribution of selected forest biochemical properties derived using the worldview data in Dukuduku forests, South Africa
(Wiley, 2019)
This work explores the potential of the high‐resolution WorldView‐2 sensor in quan‐tifying edge effects on the spatial distribution of selected forest biochemical proper‐ties in fragmented Dukuduku forest in KwaZulu‐Natal, ...
A systematic review on the use of remote sensing technologies in quantifying grasslands ecosystem services
(2022)
The last decade has seen considerable progress in scientific research on vegetation ecosystem services. While much research has focused on forests and wetlands, grasslands also provide a variety of different provisioning, ...
Spatial clustering of vegetation fire intensity using modis satellite data
(MDPI, 2022)
This work analyses the spatial clustering of fire intensity in Zimbabwe, using remotely
sensed Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire occurrence data. In
order to investigate the spatial pattern ...
