dc.description.abstract | The nature of interactions between ecological, physical and hydrological characteristics that determine the effects
of land cover change on surface and sub-surface hydrology is not well understood in both natural and
disturbed environments. The spatiotemporal dynamics of water fluxes and their relationship with land cover
changes between 2009 and 2017 in the headwater Buzi sub-catchment in Zimbabwe is evaluated. To achieve
this, land cover dynamics for the area under study were characterised from the 30 m Landsat data, using the
eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. | en_US |
