Advances in satellite remote sensing of the wetland ecosystems in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)Wetlands are highly productive systems that act as habitats for avariety of fauna andflora. Despite their ecohydrological signifi-cance, wetland ecosystems are severely under threat from globalenvironmental changes as well ... -
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 ... -
Spatial monitoring and reporting tool (smart) in mid-Zambezi valley, Zimbabwe: Implementation challenges and practices
(Wiley Open Access, 2021)Biodiversity monitoring and data-management technologies can enhance the protection of persecuted species, such as African elephants (Loxodonta africana), through providing management-relevant information. Implementing these ... -
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 ... -
Use of multispectral satellite data to assess impacts of land management practices on wetlands in the Limpopo Transfrontier River Basin, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)The study sought to assess the impacts of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on two wetland systems (Makuleke and Nylsvley Nature Reserve) in the Limpopo Transfrontier River Basin (LTRB) in South Africa between 2014 ... -
Use of remotely sensed data to estimate tree species diversity as an indicator of biodiversity in BloubergNature Reserve, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)We use remotely sensed data to estimate species diversity inBlouberg Nature Reserve (BNR) in the Limpopo province, SouthAfrica to understand the state of biodiversity since communities’involvement in conservation initiatives. ...
