(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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, 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.
-
(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 ...
-
(MDPI, 2022-10-21)Access to clean water, reliable energy services and adequate food supply are basic needs for life and contribute to the reduction of national and global levels of human poverty and forced migration. This study concentrated ...
-
(Kassel University Press, 2022-03-07)One of the main difficulties facing agribusiness development in Cote d’Ivoire, is the issue of benefit sharing. Although communal land is expected to be equitably beneficial to all who have a stake on the land, unclear ...
-
(Springer, 2021-06)South Africa is a custodian of an immense wealth of natural and biodiversity resources in Africa. Natural resources are continually changing in different South African biospheres based on anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic ...
-
(MDPI, 2021-02)This study analysed the uncertainty and sensitivity of core and intermediate input variables of a remote-sensing-data-based Penman–Monteith (PM-Mu) evapotranspiration (ET) model. We derived absolute and relative uncertainties ...
-
(MDPI, 2021-09)Reliable estimates of savanna vegetation constituents (i.e., woody and herbaceous vegetation) are essential as they are both responders and drivers of global change. The savanna is a highly heterogenous biome with high ...
-
(AOSIS, 2021-09-23)The extreme variability in the topography, altitude and climatic conditions in the temperate Grassland Mountains of Southern Africa is associated with the complex mosaic of grassland communities with pockets of woodland ...
-
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2021-04-26)Globally, the unprecedented increase in population in many cities has led to rapid changes in urban landscape, which requires timely assessments and monitoring. Accurate determination of built-up information is vital for ...
