Fire and its influence on microbial community structure and soil biochemical properties in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Academic Journals. http://www.academicjournals.org/SRE, 2007)
The influence of wild fires on microbial community structure, soil organic matter, sulphur oxidising and
nitrifying microbial populations in the floodplains of the Okavango Delta of Botswana was assessed.

Indicators of desiccation-driven change in the distal Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Elsevier Ltd; www.elsevier.com/locate/jaridenv, 2007-01)
This work seeks to determine whether riparian woody plant variables respond to drying and salinity regimes in the semi-arid distal Okavango Delta, northern Botswana. Structural and compositional variables were obtained ...
Use of the geochemical and biological sedimentary record in establishing palaeo-environments and climate change in the Lake Ngami basin, NW Botswana
(Elsevier; http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/865/description#description, 2007-02-07)
[Please note chemical formulae do not display correctly in this abstract]. Sediment samples from a continuous 4.6m profile in the dry bed of Lake Ngami in NW Botswana were analysed for geochemistry and dated using both 14C ...
Simulation of DOM fluxes in a seasonal floodplain of the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Elsevier, www.elsevier.com/locate/ecolmodel, 2007)
In order to examine dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluxes in seasonal wetland systems
that expand and contract seasonally, a time-variable model of dissolved organic carbon
(DOC) was developed for a seasonal floodplain ...
Grazers species-packing in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Willey Blackwell Publishing http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Brand/id-35.html, 2007)
We used body weight ratio to determine the degree of species-packing of the Okavango Delta (22,000 km2) grazers and compared it to that of four conservation areas
of similar sizes but varying in the diversity of habitat ...
The challenges of supplying water to small, scattered communities in the Lower Okavango Basin (LOB), Ngamiland, Botswana: An evaluation of government policy and performance
(Elsevier, www.elsevier.com/locate/pce, 2007)
Supplying adequate water and sanitation facilities to small, scattered rural communities and/or large, fast growing settlements in
remote areas is a challenge not easily met anywhere in the world. This article focuses on ...
Groundwater investigation in semi-arid developing countries, using simple GIS tools to facilitate interdisciplinary decision making under poorly mapped conditions: The Boteti area of the Kalahari region in Botswana
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jag, 2007)
Locating additional long-term groundwater resources in semi-arid regions of developing countries with growing populations is
an expensive undertaking. Simple geographic information system (GIS) techniques can be utilised ...
HIV/AIDS, artisanal fishing and food security in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/pce, 2007)
Generally, rural households pursue all year round natural and non-natural resource-based livelihood systems to diversify these
options in order to cope with risks emanating from a range of shocks and stressors. Artisanal ...
Post-fire succession on savanna habitats in the Okavango Delta wetland, Botswana
(Cambridge University Press, https://www.cambridge.org/, 2007-10-29)
Drying floodplains that were not inundated for more than 10 y were investigated to relate plant species and vegetation structure to time-since-fire for the southern Okavango Delta wetland in Botswana. The aims of the ...
The relevance of fire frequency for the floodplain vegetation of the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Wiley, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com, 2007)
The study investigates the relevance of fire frequency for the floodplain vegetation of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, considering species composition, species richness, vegetation structure and tree density. Based on ...
