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 ...
Application of drone technologies in surface water resources monitoring and assessment: A systematic review of progress, challenges, and opportunities in the global south
(MPDI, 2021)
Accurate and timely information on surface water quality and quantity is critical for
various applications, including irrigation agriculture. In-field water quality and quantity data
from unmanned aerial vehicle systems ...
Estimating and monitoring land surface phenology in rangelands: A review of progress and challenges
(MPDI, 2021)
Land surface phenology (LSP) has been extensively explored from global archives of
satellite observations to track and monitor the seasonality of rangeland ecosystems in response
to climate change. Long term monitoring ...
Mapping rangeland ecosystems vulnerability to lantana camara invasion in semi-arid savannahs in South Africa
(African journal of ecology Wiley, 2022)
We mapped and modelled the potential areas vulnerable to Lantana camara (L. camara)
invasion in semi-arid savannah ecosystems in the communal lands of Bushbuckridge
and Kruger National Park, South Africa. Specifically, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hierarchical Bayesian geostatistics for C stock prediction in disturbed plantation forest in Zimbabwe
(Ecological Informatics, 2022)
We develop and present a novel Bayesian hierarchical geostatistical model for the prediction of plantation forest carbon stock (C stock) in the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe using multispectral Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 ...
Inter-Seasonal Estimation of Grass Water Content Indicators Using Multisource Remotely Sensed Data Metrics and the Cloud-Computing Google Earth Engine Platform
(MDPI, 2023)
Indicators of grass water content (GWC) have a significant impact on eco-hydrological
processes such as evapotranspiration and rainfall interception. Several site-specific factors such as
seasonal precipitation, temperature, ...
