(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)The study examined the impact of eco-environmental quality conditions, spatial configurations and landscape connectivity of urban vegetation on seasonal land surface temperature (LST) in Harare, Zimbabwe between May and ... -
Modelling soil water redistribution in irrigated Japanese plum (prunus salicina) orchards in the Western Cape (South Africa)
(MDPI, 2023)Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) farming in the Western Cape (South Africa) is an important industry for the export market and job creation and is a large water user; however, adequate information on water requirements ... -
Modelling the distribution of the invasive Ziziphus mauritiana along road corridors in Zimbabwe
(Wiley, 2019)We investigate how human fruit consumption affects the spread of the alien invasive Ziziphus mauritiana along road corridors in northern Zimbabwe. A field survey was conducted to identify and map Z. Mauritiana stems at ... -
