Savannas cover 60% of the land surface in Southern Africa, with fires and herbivory playing a key role their ecology. The Limpopo National Park (LNP) is 10,000 km2 conservation area southern Mozambique to protecting savannas region. Fire an important factor LNP's landscapes, but little known about its park's In this study, we explored interaction between fire frequency (FF), landscape type, vegetation. To assess FF, analyzed ten years Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)...
Fire strongly impacts the composition and structure of ecosystems, with consequences yet to be understood. We used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data map fire frequency intensity investigate their effects on miombo woodlands (MW) central Mozambique. Tree species diversity was evaluated compared using rarefaction curves. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination identify patterns occurrence. The indicator value index method applied verify occurrence...
The Niassa National Reserve (NNR) is the largest conservation area of Miombo woodlands in southern Africa, representing one most remote and pristine biodiversity spots. Anthropogenic fires have long been main ecological drivers these woodlands. However, constraint understanding fire effects results from limited data accessibility to existing records. This study intended contribute ecology by assessing regime NNR. We used moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) daily active...
Miombo woodlands (MW) are increasingly experiencing widespread land use and cover change (LULCC). This study explores the influence of fire, agriculture, slope variability on LULCC in miombo Beira Corridor. Land data were derived from three Landsat images for 2001, 2008, 2018. Slope attributes Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Monthly burned Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) used to map fire frequency. The then investigate relationship between slope, based...
Aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation plays a crucial role in forest management and carbon emission reporting, especially for developing countries wishing to address REDD+ projects. Both passive active remote-sensing technologies can provide spatially explicit information of AGB by using limited number field samples, thus reducing the substantial budgetary cost inventories. The aim current study was estimate Niassa Special Reserve (NSR) fusion optical (Landsat 8/OLI Sentinel 2A/MSI) radar...
Introduction . Insect pest identification and understanding of insect ecological relationships constitute a basic step for any control measure needed. Some native fruit trees occur naturally in southern Mozambique the edible fruits are sought after by local communities. Our study aimed at assessing activity tree pests during year their relationships, providing, first time, faunistic analysis species affecting region Maputo, Mozambique. Materials methods Entomological surveys were carried out...
Le Mozambique est un pays riche en ressources naturelles renouvelables d'une grande importance économique. Cet article vise à répondre ses principaux problèmes d'environnement et de conséquences sur la santé qualité vie population. Parmi les dont notamment migration des populations, l'abattage aveugle faune, contrebande d'ivoire l'exploitation d'autres marchandises haute valeur commerciale, surexploitation du bois, destruction forêts, mauvaise disponibilité limitée d'eau, pollution...
The existence of gall wasp, Leptocybe invasa, in Mozambique was first recorded and reported July, 2011 the forestry nursery from Forestry Investigation Center (CIF) plantations districts Marracuene Namaacha (in province Maputo), respectively. formation galls on eucalyptus seedlings observed through samples collected sent to Agricultural Research Council Landbounavorsingsraad – Plant Protection Institute South Africa for identification. L. invasa is insect that causes (causes leaves...
Forestry expertise and plantations managers are struggling to find cheaper sustainable solutions contain the losses caused by Leptocybe invasa in last nine years on forest stands Mozambique. Aiming help a solution control of L. early nursery, we conducted an experimental trial at Niassa company located province, northern Mozambique February 2015. Three insecticides: Acetamiprid, Thiamethoxam, Imidacloprid, with without adherent pH regulator were tested. The experiment had seven treatments...
Os levantamentos das espécies de moscas-das-frutas, especialmente as da família Tephritidae, suas plantas hospedeiras e parasitóides são fundamentais para uma melhor compreensão bioecologia desses grupos insetos, dada sua importância econômica a fruticultura mundial. Existe tendência que esses estudos se tornem ainda mais importantes, vez é necessário saber rotineiramente determinada espécie ocorre em um dado país quais hospedeiros. O projeto teve como objetivo geral conhecer ecologia...
Abstract To evaluate the role of altitude on distribution pattern and diversity entomofauna miombo woodlands, four altitudes (850, 1,000, 1,250 1,400 m) were selected in a characteristic mountainous forest Inhamacari Mozambique July 2015. In each sampling altitude, linear transect with 16 yellow pan traps spaced 2 m apart was established for insect capture. Capture results allowed assessment by determination abundance relative frequency. Insect estimates determined Shannon–Wiener Simpson...
Fire is an important driver of vegetation dynamics in Miombo woodlands. Its occurrence can affect the both ways, positively and negatively depending on fire regime maturity stage. The present study was designed to investigate influence burning frequency woody [carbon stocks, recruitment mortality rates, periodic annual increment (PAI) diameter at breast height - DBH Carbon] forecast diametric structure forest for year 2033 Niassa Special Reserve (NSR). Remote sensing dataset from MODerate...
