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 ...
Defining regional and local sediment sources in the ancestral Colorado River system: A heavy mineral study of a mixed provenance unit in the Fish creek-vallecito basin, Southern California
(MDPI, 2023)
The Colorado River has flowed across the dextral strike-slip plate boundary between the
North American and Pacific plates since the latest Miocene or earliest Pliocene. The Fish Creek-
Vallecito Basin (FCVB) lies on the ...
Review of in-situ and remote sensing-based indices and their applicability for integrated drought monitoring in South Africa
(MDPI, 2023)
The devastating socioeconomic impacts of recent droughts have intensified the need for
improved drought monitoring in South Africa (SA). This study has shown that not all indices can be
universally applicable at all ...
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 ...
A multi-proxy provenance study of late carboniferous to middle Jurassic sandstones in the Eastern Sverdrup basin and its bearing on arctic palaeogeographic reconstructions
(MDPI, 2023)
A multi-proxy provenance study of Late Carboniferous to Middle Jurassic sandstones
from the eastern Sverdrup Basin was undertaken employing optical petrography and heavy mineral
analysis, chemical analysis of apatite, ...
Identification and delineation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) in the Khakea–Bray transboundaryaquifer region using geospatial techniques
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Identifying and delineating groundwater-dependent ecosystems(GDEs) is critical in understanding their location, distribution andgroundwater allocation. However, this information is inadequatelyunderstood due to limited ...
Dispersal and coastal geomorphology limit potential for mangrove range expansion under climate change
(Wiley, 2022)
Latitudinal range limits for mangroves on high-energy,
wave-dominated
coasts
are controlled by geomorphological features and estuarine dynamics. Mangroves
reach a southern global range limit along the South African ...
Progress in the remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) has increased substantially in recent years. Of
significant prominence, is the delineation and mapping of groundwater-dependent vegetation (GDV), species
diversity, ...
Role of Indigenous and local knowledge in seasonal forecasts and climate adaptation: A case study of smallholder farmers in Chiredzi, Zimbabwe
(Elsevier, 2023)
Accessible, reliable and diverse sources of climate information are needed to inform climate change adaptation at
all levels of society, particularly for vulnerable sectors such as smallholder farming. Globally, many ...
Carbon stock prediction in managed forest ecosystems using Bayesian and frequentist geostatistical techniques and new generation remote sensing metrics
(MDPI, 2023)
The study compares the performance of a hierarchical Bayesian geostatistical methodology
with a frequentist geostatistical approach, specifically, Kriging with External Drift (KED), for
predicting C stock using prediction ...
