Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the spatial distribution of two important South African plantation forestry pathogens
Vida van Staden,Barend F.N. Erasmus,Jolanda Roux,Michael J. Wingfield,Albert S. van Jaarsveld +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the use of bioclimatic modelling to predict the habitat distribution for these pathogens, and to consider potential distribution patterns under conditions of climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-cover change in the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve (1993-2006): a first step towards creating a conservation plan for the subregion.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a conservation plan for the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve (K2C) on the South African Central Lowveld, quantifying the historical land-cover trends (1993-2006).
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring vegetation dynamics with medium resolution MODIS-EVI time series at sub-regional scale in southern Africa
TL;DR: Analysis of vegetation dynamics across a large area in southern Africa using the 14-years of medium spatial resolution MODIS-EVI time-series data showed that interannual vegetation dynamics followed precipitation patterns with clearly differentiated seasonality.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tale of two villages: assessing the dynamics of fuelwood supply in communal landscapes in South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated impacts of fuelwood harvesting from 1992-2009 on the woodland structure and species composition surrounding two rural villages located within the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve (Mpumalanga Province, South Africa).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity Conservation: Uncertainty in predictions of extinction risk/Effects of changes in climate and land use/Climate change and extinction risk (reply).
