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 ... -
Impacts of plastic debris on biota and implications for human health: A South African perspective
(South African Assn. For The Advancement Of Science, 2020)Entanglement and ingestion of plastics are the main ecological impacts of marine plastic debris on marine biota, but indirect effects such as the transport of alien species and benthic smothering are also important to note. ... -
Understanding the influence of land cover change and landscape pattern change on evapotranspiration variations in Gwayi catchment of Zimbabwe
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)Understanding dynamics in hydrological processes helps toimprove water resource management. Climate and land coverchanges influence ecohydrological processes. This study soughtto assess the influence of climate, land ... -
Use of multispectral satellite data to assess impacts of land management practices on wetlands in the Limpopo Transfrontier River Basin, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)The study sought to assess the impacts of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on two wetland systems (Makuleke and Nylsvley Nature Reserve) in the Limpopo Transfrontier River Basin (LTRB) in South Africa between 2014 ... -
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. ...
