Wetlands in drylands: Diverse perspectives for dynamic landscapes
(Springer, 2022)The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP 1997) classifes global drylands according to an Aridity Index (AI), defned as the ratio between mean annual precipitation (MAP) and potential evapotranspiration (PET). ... -
Why do we need to care about transboundary aquifers and how do we solve their issues?
(SpringerLink, 2023)As the reliance on transboundary groundwater is increasing globally, it is important to understand and address the specifc issues raised by the assessment and management of transboundary aquifers (TBAs). Building on 20 ... -
Will a rising sea sink some estuarine wetland ecosystems?
(Elsevier, 2016)Sea-level rise associated with climate change presents a major challenge to plant diversity and ecosystem service provision in coastal wetlands. In this study, we investigate the effect of sea-level rise on benthos, ... -
Will climate warming exceed lethal photosynthetic temperature thresholds of lichens in a southern African arid region?
(Wiley, 2013)Predicted elevated temperatures and a shift from a winter to summer rainfall pattern associated with global warming could result in the exposure of hydrated lichens during summer to more numerous temperature extremes that ... -
Biomarkers, stable carbon isotope, and trace element distribution of source rocks in the Orange Basin, South Africa: implications for paleoenvironmental reconstruction, provenance, and tectonic setting
(2021)Aptian to Campanian sediments from the Western ofshore to Central Orange Basin were studied by integrating molecular geochemistry, inorganic and isotopic studies to recognize their geochemical characteristics via the ...
