Exploring the invasion of rangelands by Acacia mearnsii (black wattle): biophysical characteristics and management implications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship among the A. mearnsii leaf area index (LAI), normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and aboveground biomass (AGB) in invaded grasslands of the northern Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Exploring dynamics of evapotranspiration in selected land cover classes in a sub-humid grassland: A case study in quaternary catchment S50E, South Africa
Onalenna Gwate,Sukhmani K. Mantel,Lesley Gibson,Zahn Munch,Anthony R. Palmer,Anthony R. Palmer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used land cover maps for the study area to extract annual AET from the MOD16 ET product and applied the cumulative residuals method to link dynamics in AET with land cover change to enable the application of an appropriate map for retrieving AET.

Dynamics of Land Cover and Impact on Stream flow in the Modder River Basin of South Africa: Case Study of a Quaternary Catchment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed changes in historical stream flow patterns with reference to dynamics in land cover in C52A quaternary catchment of South Africa and found that huge land cover changes coincided with significant (p<0.05) changes in streamflow although rainfall remained homogenous over the same period.
Determining fPAR and leaf area index of several land cover classes in the Pot River and Tsitsa River catchments of the Eastern Cape, South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the quantum and temporal variation in the leaf area index (LAI) and the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (fPAR) are three fundamenta...

Public Perceptions of Climate Variability Risks on Wetland Management : A Case of Ward 15 of Matobo North District, Zimbabwe
TL;DR: The authors found that a significant proportion of the locals are aware of the dynamics of the local climate; the majority of the participants have heard of climate variability but very few know the causes.
