Estimates of Phytoplankton carbon from high resolution optical sensors in the Southern Ocean by Ogunkoya, Ayodele Gilbert

“…Although M13 has a very low chl-a:Cphyto ratios, the range of variability was similar to that of the 30%POC and B05 methods and likely driven by variability in light and Fe limitation and changes in community structure. …”

A genetic perspective on leopard (Panthera pardus) conservation units across southern Africa by Thacker, Thomas M

“…While the data presented here specifically consider a genetic element of conservation units, they do suggest shortcomings in adopting either the entirety of southern Africa as a single unit or separate geopolitical range states as conservation units. The variability in leopard conservation policy across southern Africa is unlikely to sufficiently protect their existing regional genetic structure. …”

Three dimensional quantitative textural analysis of nickel sulphide ore using X-ray computed tomography and grey level co-occurrence matrices on drill core by Jardine, Mitchel

“…Ore texture - the interrelationship of minerals comprising a rock, has been identified as one of the primary geometallurgical indicators of ore variability. It is well known that a relationship exists between ore texture and the resultant metallurgical performance (ore hardness, throughput, liberation, grade, recovery). …”

The use of traditional weather forecasting by agro-pastoralists of different social groups in Bobirwa sub-district, Botswana by Mosime, Bonolo

“…However, this agro-pastoralism is affected by climatic variability. Advanced warning of upcoming weather information is, therefore, important in informing farming decisions. …”

Marine protected areas in the management of artisanal fisheries by Sultan, Mohammed Akthar Riad

“…Fishers appeared sensitive to the expected catch, its variability, human risk and distance travelled. Expected catch and catch variability were modelled using a Just and Pope production function. …”

What are southern Cape renosterveld geophytes storing in their underground organs? by Packer, Kirsten

“…The size variation is most likely due to annual versus perennial life cycle. Variability in water content is presumably due to microhabitat variation, and structures to prevent water loss. …”

Assessing seasonal forecast use in Western Cape viticulture: a risk framework approach by Khumalo, Fidelity Zwelihle

“…The results show that climate variability poses a significant threat to the yield and quality of wine produced and has a negative impact on the labour and finances in- volved in running a vineyard. …”
