Variation by Geographic Scale in the Migration-Environment Association: Evidence from Rural South Africa
Lori M. Hunter,Stefan Leyk,Galen Maclaurin,Raphael J. Nawrotzki,Wayne Twine,Barend F.N. Erasmus,Mark A. Collinson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined temporary rural South African outmigration as related to household-level availability of proximate natural resources, and found that households with higher levels of resources are more likely to engage in temporary migration.
Journal Article
Land-cover change in the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve (1993-2006) : a first step towards creating a conservation plan for the subregion : research article
TL;DR: Quantifying the historical land-cover trends (1993-2006) on the South African Central Lowveld will help reconcile the spatial requirements of socio-economic development with those of conservation, and have important implications for biodiversity protection in this landscape.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional woody vegetation structure across different land-use types and -land-use intensities in a semi-arid savanna
Jolene T. Fisher,Barend F.N. Erasmus,Ed T.F. Witkowski,Jan van Aardt,G. P. Asner,Ty Kennedy-Bowdoin,Dave Knapp,Renaud Mathieu,Konrad J Wessels +8 more
TL;DR: Volumetric pixel (voxel) approach was used to characterise the vertical distribution of LiDAR returns, i.e., vegetation density, in one metre increments for comparison using descriptive statistics across the land-use type and intensity gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
