non-indigenous giant purple barnacle Megabalanus tintinnabulum (Linnaeus, 1758),
a well-known fouling and globally-invasive species, ...
Climate change in coastal waters: Time series properties affecting trend estimation
(AMS, 2016)
In South Africa, 129 in situ temperature time series of up to 43 years are used for investigations of the
thermal characteristics of coastal seawater. They are collected with handheld thermometers or underwater
temperature ...
Biomass partitioning in an endemic southern African salt marsh species Salicornia tegetaria (Chenopodiaceae)
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2020)
The below ground biomass of salt marsh species accounts for more than half of the total plant biomass in salt marsh systems, yet no biomass data exist for salt marsh species in South Africa. ...
Metabarcoding of zooplankton to derive indicators of pelagic ecosystem status
