An above-ground biomass map of African savannahs and woodlands at 25m resolution derived from ALOS PALSAR

Author: Bouvet, A ; Mermoz, S ; Le Toan, T ; Villard, L ; Mathieu, Renaud SA ; Naidoo, Laven ; Asner, GP Date: Mar 2018 Savannahs and woodlands are among the most important biomes in Africa: they cover half of sub-Saharan Africa, provide vital ecosystem services to the rural communities, and play a major part in the carbon budget. Despite their importance and ... Read more
The assessment of data mining algorithms for modelling Savannah woody cover using multi-frequency (X-, C- and L-band) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets

Author: Naidoo, Laven ; Mathieu, Renaud SA ; Kleynhans, W ; Wessels, Konrad J ; Asner, GP ; Leblon, B Date: Jul 2014 The woody component in African Savannahs provides essential ecosystem services such as fuel wood and construction timber to large populations of rural communities. Woody canopy cover (i.e. the percentage area occupied by woody canopy or CC) ... Read more
Field determination of biomass burning emission ratios and factors via open-path FTIR spectroscopy and fire radiative power assessment: headfire, backfire and residual smouldering combustion in African savannahs

Author: Wooster, MJ ; Freeborn, PH ; Archibald, S ; Oppenheimer, C ; Roberts, GJ ; Smith, TEL ; Govender, N ; Burton, M ; Palumbo, I Date: 2011 Biomass burning emissions factors are vital to quantifying trace gases releases from vegetation fires. Here the authors evaluate emissions factors for a series of savannah fires in Kruger National Park (KNP), South Africa using ground-based ... Read more
Savannah woody structure modelling and mapping using multifrequency (X-, C- and L-band) synthetic aperture radar data

Author: Naidoo, Laven ; Mathieu, Renaud SA ; Main, Russell S ; Kleynhans, W ; Wessels, Konrad J ; Asner, G ; Leblon, B Date: Jul 2015 Structural parameters of the woody component in African savannahs provide estimates of carbon stocks that are vital to the understanding of fuelwood reserves, which is the primary source of energy for 90% of households in South Africa (80% ...
