Biological crusts of serpentine and non-serpentine soils from the Barberton Greenstone Belt of South Africa
(Springer, 2017)Climate and geography can influence biological soil crust (BSC) community composition, but local heterogeneity in variables such as soil characteristics or microclimate gradients can also impact cryptogamic diversity. Heavy ... -
Cyanobacteria and algae of gold mine tailings in the North-West Province of South Africa
(Borntraeger Science Publishers, 2013)Cryptogamic crusts are important components in arid and semiarid lands and could play a vital role in the rehabilitation of mine tailings. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the occurrence of cyanobacteria ... -
Evaluation of models generated via hybrid evolutionary algorithms for the prediction of Microcystis concentrations in the Vaal Dam, South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2016)Cyanobacteria are responsible for many problems in drinking water treatment works (DWTW) because of their ability to produce cyanotoxins that potentially can have an adverse effect on consumer health. Therefore, the ... -
Growth of soil algae and cyanobacteria on gold mine tailings material
(ASSAf, 2017)The goal of revegetation of gold mine tailings storage facilities is to reduce aeolian pollution, nutrient leaching and erosion caused by exposure to wind and water. The establishment of biological soil crusts may prove ...
