Aquatic ecosystem responses to fire and flood size in the Okavango Delta: observations from the seasonal floodplains
(Springer, http://www.springer.com, 2010-07-19)
The frequency of fires in the Okavango Delta seasonal floodplains peaked at an intermediate frequency of flooding. Floodplains are commonly burnt every 3–5 years. This study showed fundamental changes in ecosystem properties ...
Tropical wetlands: seasonal hydrologic pulsing, carbon sequestration and methane emissions
(Springer, http://www.springer.com, 2010)
This paper summarizes the importance of climate on tropical wetlands. Regional hydrology and carbon dynamics in many of these wetlands could shift with dramatic changes in these major carbon storages if the inter-tropical ...
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 ...
Flooding dynamics in a large low-gradient alluvial fan, the Okavango delta, Botswana, from analysis and interpretation of 30-year hydrometric record
(Hydrology and Earth Systems Sciences, www.hydrology-and-earth-system-sciences.net, 2006)
The Okavango Delta is a flood-pulsed wetland, which supports a large tourism industry and the subsistence
of the local population through the provision of ecosystem services. In order to obtain insight into the influence ...
Characterization of arsenic occurrence in the water and sediments of the Okavango Delta, NW Botswana
(Elsevier Science B.V. Amsterdam; http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/768/description#description, 2006)
Detailed chemical analyses were performed on surface water, groundwater and sediment samples collected from the
Okavango Delta between February and November 2003 in order to examine the distribution and geochemistry ...
Water flow dynamics in the Okavango River Basin and Delta - a prerequisite for the ecosystems of the Delta
