(MDPI, 2024-10)Maize is a staple crop important for food security that millions globally depend upon as an energy source, primarily due to its high starch and fat content. For growth and disease resistance, maize production requires a ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-06)Please read abstract in article.
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2024)Rangelands are natural ecosystems that serve as essential sources of forage for domesticated livestock and wildlife. Therefore, accurately mapping nutrient levels in rangelands is crucial for sustainable development and ...
-
(Borntraeger Science Publishers, 2024-08)Changes in species diversity have been widely used in environmental monitoring and global change studies as an indicator of vegetation change over time. High mountain ecosystems such as the Golden Gate Highlands National ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2023-08-25)There is limited knowledge on how people living in communal areas perceive land use and land cover (LULC) change and the impacts it has on sustainable access to essential ecosystem goods and services. This study used ...
-
(Springer, 2023-12)Rangelands play a vital role in developing countries’ biodiversity conservation and economic growth, since most people depend on rangelands for their livelihood. Aboveground-biomass (AGB) is an ecological indicator of ...
-
(AOSIS, 2023-04)It is well known that fire is a common driver in many biomes and it plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystem functioning in many South African biomes. This ecosystem process is an important determinant of plant community ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-12)The relationship between plant productivity, measured according to biomass and species richness, is a fundamental focal point in community ecology, as it provides the basis for understanding plant responses or adaptive ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Springer, 2023-03)Ecological research has focused on the importance of environmental factors on spatial biodiversity variations and organisation. This is important because of scant conservation resources. We used stepwise backward selection ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-05)Precise adjustments of farm management activities, such as irrigation and soil treatment according to site-specific conditions, are crucial. With advances in smart agriculture and sensors, it is possible to reduce the ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-09)Assessments of species diversity and richness are essential to understand present ecological and biodiversity conditions for effective conservation management strategies. Biodiversity indicators determine rangeland health ...
-
(MDPI, 2022-08-26)Rabies is a neglected disease endemic in Asia and Africa but is still a significant public and veterinary health threat. Whilst a key delicacy for the local diet, bats are a natural reservoir host for many viral zoonotic ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-03)Land degradation (LD) is a global issue that affects sustainability and livelihoods of approximately 1.5 billion people, especially in arid/semi-arid regions. Hence, identifying and assessing LD and its driving forces ...
-
(Springer, 2023-03)Please read abstract in article.
-
(MDPI, 2022-09-30)The study of ecosystem services and the valuation of their contribution to human wellbeing is gaining increasing interest among scientists and decision-makers. The setting of this study was a critical biodiversity area on ...
-
(AOSIS, 2022)No abstract available.
-
(Elsevier, 2022-12)Ecosystems in semi-arid and arid Southern Africa experience high temperatures which translate to extremely hot soil surface temperatures. High soil surface temperatures lead to a decrease in seed germination and ...
-
(MDPI, 2022-10-31)The Miombo woodland is the most extensive tropical woodland in south-central Africa. However, field sample plot data on forest cover changes, species distribution and carbon stocks in the Miombo ecoregion are inadequate ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)The Sentinel-2 Level 2 Prototype Processor (SL2P) allows the generation of biophysical estimates at high spatiotemporal resolution from Sentinel-2 imagery and could be a solution for generating products in natural environments. ...
