  3. Assessing intra-seasonal land surface change and long term trends in the succulent Karoo biome using coarse resolution satellite and interpolated rainfall surfaces

    Roberts, Jonathan WesleyDepartment of Environmental and Geographical Science2005

    The Succulent Karoo is a biodiversity hot spot situated along the west coast of southern Africa. While it is predominantly recognized as a west coast vegetation type its borders stretch as far east as Steytlerville in the Little Karoo. The area contains the largest number of endemic succulent …
