Use of multispectral satellite datasets to improve ecological understanding of the distribution of Invasive Alien Plants in a water-limited catchment, South Africa
(Wiley, 2020)
Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) pose major threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services. The availability of moderate resolution satellite data (e.g. Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument and Landsat-8 Operational ...
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 ...
Use of remotely sensed data to estimate tree species diversity as an indicator of biodiversity in BloubergNature Reserve, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
We use remotely sensed data to estimate species diversity inBlouberg Nature Reserve (BNR) in the Limpopo province, SouthAfrica to understand the state of biodiversity since communities’involvement in conservation initiatives. ...
Impacts of climate variability and drought on surface water resources in sub-saharan africa using remote sensing: A review
(Remote Sensing, 2022)
Climate variability and recurrent droughts have caused remarkable strain on water resources in most regions across the globe, with the arid and semi-arid areas being the hardest hit. The impacts have been notable on surface ...
