Assessing urban fire risk in the central business district of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2010)Buildings as infrastructure along with people’s lives need protection against fire outbreaks. Knowledge on the use of installed facilities is essential in tackling There emergencies, otherwise their installation becomes ... -
The community ecology of herbaceous vegetation in a semi-arid sodic savanna
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)Ecological conservation of savanna ecosystems is dependent upon interactive mechanisms involving bottom-up drivers such as nutrient availability, and top-down controls relating to fire, herbivory and water availability at ... -
Disaster risk assessment at Roburnia Plantation, Mpumalanga, South Africa
(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2013)This study reports about disaster risk assessment undertaken at Roburnia Plantation, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were followed to collect data. A total of eight experienced ... -
The effect of fire on savanna vegetation dynamics in the semi-arid Molopo Bushveld region of the North-West Province, South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Land degradation in semi-arid areas is a worldwide phenomenon. Both land users and researchers have become increasingly aware of the environmental changes that occur over time due to land degradation. Among such changes, ... -
Herbaceous biomass species diversity relationships in nutrient hotspots of a semi-arid African riparian ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis + NISC, 2015)The hump-back relationship between species diversity and productivity predicts highest species richness at intermediate levels of biomass, and low species numbers in least and most productive habitats. Sodic patches ... -
Herbaceous plant diversity responses to various treatments of fire and herbivory in sodic patches of a semiarid riparian ecosystem
(2014)Understanding relationships between large herbivores and plant species diversity in dynamic riparian zones, and more specifically sodic zones, is critical to biodiversity conservation. Sodic patches form an integral part ...
