Evaluating the impact of land use and land cover change on unprotected wetland ecosystems in the arid-tropical areas of South Africa using the Landsat dataset and support vector machine
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
The study explored the impact of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change dynamics in relation to the condition and status of an unprotected wetland located in the arid-tropical parts of the Limpopo Province, South Africa. ...
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 ...
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, ...
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, ...
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. ...
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 ...
