Spatial characterisation of vegetation diversity in groundwater-dependent ecosystems using in-situ and sentinel-2 msi satellite data
(MDPI, 2022)
Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) are under threat from groundwater overabstraction,
which significantly impacts their conservation and sustainable management. Although
the socio-economic significance of GDEs is ...
Using the water balance approach to understand pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers in the semi-arid areas of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2022)
The Touws River in the Klein Karoo region of South Africa Study focus: This study sought to improve the understanding of pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers (NPRs) by utilising the water balance approach to assess 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, ...
Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management
(MDPI, 2023)
In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, the main goal
of the Special Issue on “Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management” was
to solicit papers from a diverse range of ...
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 ...
Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management
(Remote Sensing, 2022-12-21)
In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, the main goal
of the Special Issue on “Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management” was
to solicit papers from a diverse range of ...
Multispectral remote sensing of potential groundwater dependent vegetation in the greater Floristic region of the Western Cape, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Groundwater dependent vegetation (GDV) is increasingly threa-tened by the transformation of the natural environment. An under-standing of the nature of GDV at the appropriate scale helps environmental managers make suitable ...
Integrating RADAR and optical imagery improve the modelling of carbon stocks in a mopane-dominated African savannah dry forest
(Wiley, 2022-12-25)
This study examined the integration of two satellite data sets, that is Landsat 7 ETM+
and ALOS PALSAR (Advanced Land Observing Satellite Phased Array type L-band
Synthetic Aperture RADAR) in estimating carbon stocks in ...
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 ...
