Hydrological Modelling of the Rietvlei Wetland, Western Cape, South Africa : Identifying possible Environmental Impacts
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Conceptualizing the hydrological processes governing wetland environments is only possible when the defining attributes of the wetland are considered and understood. In this case, the groundwater level fluctuations, wetland ... -
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 ... -
Landslide susceptibility on selected slopes in Dzanani, Limpopo Province, South Africa
(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2014)Inherent soil properties and anthropogenic activities on slope faces are considered potential recipes for landslide occurrence. The objectives of this study were to physically characterise unconsolidated soils and identify ... -
The Role of Potassium in the Fertility Status of Soils: A Case Study of University of Limpopo Experimental Farm, South Africa
(Research Gate, 2014)Potassium (K) is one of the three major nutrient elements required by plants, others being nitrogen and phosphorus. Its fixation and release in soil are important in sustainability of agronomical and ecological 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 ...
