Modeling the geographic spread and proliferation of invasive alien plants (IAPs) into new ecosystems using multi-source data and multiple predictive models in the Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
The geographic spread and proliferation of Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) into new ecosystems
requires accurate, constant, and frequent monitoring particularly under the changing climate to
ensure the integrity and resilience ...
Effect of landscape pattern and spatial configuration of vegetation patches on urban warming and cooling in Harare metropolitan city, Zimbabwe
(Bellweather Publishing, 2021)
The spatial configuration of vegetation patches in the landscape has implications for the provision of ecosystem services, human adaptation to climate change, enhancement, or mitigation of urban heat island. Until recently, ...
Pansharpened landsat 8 thermal-infrared data for improved land surface temperature characterization in a heterogeneous urban landscape
(Elsevier, 2022)
Challenges associated with adolescents are prevalent in South African societies. During the adolescence stage, children may become involved in deviant behaviour. Although a significant number of studies have focused on the ...
Remotely sensed c3 and c4 grass species aboveground biomass variability in response to seasonal climate and topography
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Seasonal climate and topography influence C3 and C4 grass species aboveground biomass (AGB). Climate change further threatens these grasses AGB, thereby compromising their ability to provide ecosystem goods and services. ...
Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management
(MDPI, 2023)
In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, the main goal
of the Special Issue on “Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management” was
to solicit papers from a diverse range of ...
Spatial clustering of vegetation fire intensity using modis satellite data
(MDPI, 2022)
This work analyses the spatial clustering of fire intensity in Zimbabwe, using remotely
sensed Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire occurrence data. In
order to investigate the spatial pattern ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
