Approach to modelling spatial changes of plant carbon: nitrogen ratios in southern Africa in relation to anticipated global climate change

Author: Kunz, RP ; Schulze, RE ; Scholes, RJ Date: Mar 1995 The carbon to nitrogen (C: N) ratio is the main factor determining the forage quality of a plant, with a low C: N ratio indicating relatively good plant digestibility and a high C: N ratio inferring relatively poor forage quality. Global ... Read more
Climate change - Storing carbon on land

Author: Scholes, RJ ; Noble, IR Date: 02 Nov 2001 The terrestrial biosphere currently absorbs about a quarter of the anthropogenic carbon emissions. Can this carbon sink help to mitigate climate change? In their Perspective, the authors argue that the world will not be worse off for having ... Read more
Effects of global change on tropical ecosystems

Author: Scholes, RJ ; Van Breemen, N Date: Sep 1997 Alteration of land use will continue to be the dominant driver of environmental change in the tropics for the next several decades. It can take the form of fundamental vegetation cover transformation, or of intensification of existing land ... Read more
Energy technologies for climate change mitigation - What is appropriate for SA?

Author: Matekenya, W ; Mehlwana, MA Date: May 2006 Climate change is emerging as one of the most challenging problems confronting the humankind in the 21st century. Global warming is almost proportionally interrelated with the pace of industrialization over the past 200 years. This paper ... Read more
Reconceptualising adaptation to climate change as part of pathways of change and response

Author: Wise, RM ; Fazey, I ; Smith, S ; Park, SE ; Eakin, HC ; Archer, Emma RM ; Campbell, B Date: Jan 2014 The need to adapt to climate change is now widely recognised as evidence of its impacts on social and natural systems grows and greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. Yet efforts to adapt to climate change, as reported in the literature ... Read more
A regional perspective on the environment-climate change-migration nexus: Governance and policy responses to environmental refugees

Author: Jacobs-Mata, Inga M Date: Oct 2017 This project focuses on the regional, national and sub-national policy landscape and the preparedness of Southern African countries to respond to future internal and cross-border displacements as a result of environmental disasters. The goal ... Read more
Understanding onsets of rainfall in Southern Africa using temporal probabilistic modelling

Author: Cheruiyot, D ; Osunmakinde, IO Date: Dec 2010 This research investigates an alternative approach to automatically evolve the hidden temporal distribution of onset of rainfall directly from multivariate time series (MTS) data in the absence of domain experts. Temporal probabilistic modelling ... Read more
