Characterising indoor and ambient particulate matter in Kwazamokuhle, Mpumalanga
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)KwaZamokuhle is typical of the townships home to a large portion of South Africans. If the air quality here can be understood, it may help researchers find better solutions to poor air quality including particulate matter ... -
Interconnected effects of shrubs, invertebrate‐derived macropores and soil texture on water infiltration in a semi‐arid savanna rangeland
(Wiley, 2020)Many semi arid savannas are prone to degradation, caused for example, by overgrazing or extreme climatic events, which often lead to shrub encroachment. Overgrazing by livestock affects vegetation and infiltration processes ... -
Soil-texture affects the influence of termite macropores on soil water infiltration in a semi-arid savanna
(Wiley, 2020)Subterranean termites create tunnels (macropores) for foraging that can influence water infiltration and may lead to preferential flow to deeper soil layers. This is particularly important in water limited ecosystems such ... -
Vadose zone infiltration and its implication for groundwater contamination risk assessment in Siloam village, Limpopo province, South Africa
(AOSIS, 2018)Risk assessment methods and approaches are useful for environmental planning and decision-making when dealing with risk identification and reduction in a changing global context. This is particularly true for arid and ... -
Water transport mechanisms in coal stockpiles
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)One of the key indicators of coal product quality is the moisture content. Excess moisture can have a negative effect as it results in handling problems and a reduction in coal value by decreasing the heating value. The ...
