Progress in remote sensing of grass senescence: A review on the challenges and opportunities
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021)
Grass senescence estimation in rangeland is particularly
important for monitoring the conditions of forage quality
and quantity. During senescence, grasses lose their nutrients from
the leaves to the root and thereby ...
Impacts of groundwater and climate variability on terrestrial groundwater dependent ecosystems: A review of geospatial assessment approaches and challenges and possible future research directions
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
Terrestrial groundwater dependent vegetation (TGDV) are crucialecosystems which provide important goods and services such ascarbon sequestration, habitat, water purification and aestheticbenefits in semi-arid environments. ...
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 ...
Advancements in the satellite sensing of the impacts of climate and variability on bush encroachment in savannah rangelands
(Elsevier, 2022)
An increase in shrubs or woody species is likely, directly or indirectly, to significantly affect rural
livelihoods, wildlife/livestock productivity and conservation efforts. Poor and inappropriate land
use management ...
Remote sensing of land use-land cover change and climate variability on hydrological processes in Sub-Saharan Africa: Key scientific strides and challenges
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
The impact of land use land cover (LULC) change and climatevariability on water resources poses as a major threat in semi-aridenvironments, especially in the sub-Saharan Africa. Countries insub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable ...
Progress in the use of geospatial and remote sensing technologies in the assessment and monitoring of tomato crop diseases
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
With a growing global population and accelerating climatechange, systematic assessment and monitoring of crop diseases isurgently required to ensure food security and production.However, current dietary transitions ...
Remotely sensed applications in monitoring the spatio-temporal dynamics of pools and flows along non-perennial rivers: A review
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
Non-perennial rivers (NPRs) account for more than 50% of the world’s river network and their occurrence is expanding. Some rivers that were previously classified as perennial have evolved to be NPRs in response to climate ...
Use of multi-source remotely sensed data in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers in semi-arid environments, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
This study explored the use of multi-source remotely sensed data
in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics
in two distinct semi-arid sites in South Africa. The factors that
control the pool ...
Increasing extracellular cellulase activity of the recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae by engineering cell wall-related proteins for improved consolidated processing of carbon neutral lignocellulosic biomass
(Elsevier, 2022)
Sustainable bioproduction using carbon neutral feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic biomass, has attracted
increasing attention due to concern over climate change and carbon reduction. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP)
of ...
Global warming and psychotraumatology of natural disasters: the case of the deadly rains and floods of April 2022 in South Africa
(Annales Médico-psychologiques, revue psychiatrique, 2023)
Climate change and global warming have led to an increased incidence of flooding across the world. Against the backdrop of the recent devastating floods in the Kwazulu-Natal province of South Africa, this paper explores ...
