Assessing the surface material quality of unpaved rural roads to understand susceptibility to surface deterioration. A case study of four rural areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2019)
Road surface deterioration is one of the most common problems of unpaved road networks worldwide. It is areduction in the performance of a road due to a decline in road surface material quality. Accumulated damagefrom ...
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, ...
Remotely sensed c3 and c4 grass species aboveground biomass variability in response to seasonal climate and topography
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Seasonal climate and topography influence C3 and C4 grass species aboveground biomass (AGB). Climate change further threatens these grasses AGB, thereby compromising their ability to provide ecosystem goods and services. ...
Influence of termites on the soil seed bank in an African savannah
(Wiley, 2018)
In savannah ecosystems, termites drive key ecosystem processes, such as primary
production through creation of patchiness in soil nutrients availability around their
nests. In this study, we evaluated the role of termites ...
Modelling the distribution of the invasive Ziziphus mauritiana along road corridors in Zimbabwe
(Wiley, 2019)
We investigate how human fruit consumption affects the spread of the alien invasive
Ziziphus mauritiana along road corridors in northern Zimbabwe. A field survey was
conducted to identify and map Z. Mauritiana stems at ...
