    In southern Africa, the connections between climate and the water–energy–food nexus are strong. Physical and socioeconomic exposure to climate is high in many areas and in crucial economic sectors. Spatial interdependence ...
  • Climate and the inter-annual variability of fire in southern Africa: a meta-analysis using long-term field data and satellite-derived burnt area data 
    Archibald, S; Nickless, A; Govender, N; Scholes, RJ; Lehsten, V (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-11)
    This study investigates inter-annual variability in burnt area in southern Africa and the extent to which climate is responsible for this variation. We compare data from long-term field sites across the region with remotely ...
  • Climate change - Storing carbon on land 
    Scholes, RJ; Noble, IR (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2001-11-02)
    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 ...
