Multispectral remote sensing of the impacts of drought and climate variability on water resources in semi-arid regions of the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The occurrence of droughts is a threat to global water resources and natural ecosystems, with the impact being more profound in semi-arid environments. The frequency of droughts is likely to increase because of climate ...
The impact of land use and land cover changes on wetland productivity and hydrological systems in the Limpopo transboundary river basin, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Wetlands are highly productive systems that act as habitats for a variety of flora and fauna. Despite their ecohydrological significance, wetland ecosystems are under severe threat as a result of environmental changes (e.g. ...
Remote sensing drought impacts on wetland vegetation productivity at the Soetendalsvlei in the Heuningnes Catchment, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This work aimed at assessing the response of wetland vegetation productivity to the 2014-2017 climate-induced drought at the Soetendalsvlei wetland system in the Western Cape province of South Africa. To achieve this ...
Multispectral remote sensing of vegetation responses to groundwater variability in the greater floristic region of the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Groundwater dependent vegetation (GDV) communities are increasingly threatened by the transformation of the natural environment to different land use/land cover, over-exploitation of groundwater resources and the proliferation ...
