Effects of land use change on streamflow and stream water quality of a coastal catchment
(South African Water Research Commission, 2017)
This study aimed to link land cover/use change to water quality in an important water supply coastal catchment. The approach followed a spatial and temporal analysis of historical catchment land use change to assess how ...
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). ...
Influence of landscape moisture sources and topography on rock weathering patterns associated with wildfire
(Wiley, 2022)
From 9 March 2015, a wildfire burned an area of 25.7 km2, or approximately half of
the Jonkershoek catchment (Western Cape, South Africa), over the course of 3 days.
During this period, large areas of fynbos and commercial ...
Using cloud computing techniques to monitor long-term variations in ecohydrological dynamics of small seasonally-flooded wetlands in semi-arid South Africa.
(Journal of Hydrology, 2022)
Wetlands in drylands have high inter- and intra-annual ecohydrological variations that are driven to a great extent by climate variability and anthropogenic influences. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands encourages the ...
Spectral classification, mapping and physical habitat implications of a riparian invasion by Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. in the Touws River, Klein Karoo, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
This paper investigates the invasion of a reach of the Touws River by the deciduous alien tree Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. (Pink Tamarisk, Saltcedar). The objectives of the paper were to investigate ...
