This study used multispectral UAV aerial photography to map ten wetland plant species in the Fynbos Biome in the Steenbras Nature Reserve. We developed a methodology that used K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) machine learning a...

There is very high species turnover across these boundaries, providing an opportunity to disentangle the relative roles of climate and soil type in determining the biome boundary. A fully reciprocal transplant approach was employed here to investigate this question, using three species from each biome...

Pine plantations and pine invasions have numerous impacts on native ecosystems in the Fynbos biome of South Africa. The severity of these impacts greatly determines the extent of potential ecosystem recovery after the pines are felled. The recovery potential of fynbos after felling of pine plantations...
