Maximising the potential of Integrated Fire Management for people and nature
New research assessing integrated fire management (IFM) as an adaptation and mitigation strategy to altered fire regimes has been published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment with contributions from PiNC Lab’s Glynis Humphrey.
Structural differences in hydrological models & their implications for NbS
Research from the PiNC Lab lead and colleagues aims to quantify uncertainty from hydrological model structural differences for clearing invasive alien trees from mountain catchments in a water scarce region of South Africa.
Carbon revenues fuel misguided policies in African conservation
PiNC Lab’s Glynis Humphrey and a group of international researchers working in Africa have published new work that raises caution around a single veld-burning strategy to sequester carbon in order to capitalise on carbon credits.
Impacts of climate change on human mobility and immobility
The need for more in-depth research into challenges posed by climate change is higlighted in a study published in the journal, One Earth, with co-authors from the PiNC Lab.
How much water can removing alien plants save?
Alien trees guzzle water and invade mountainous areas across South Africa. Models by researchers at the PiNC Lab and colleagues reveal what impact clearing this vegetation can have on water supply.
Reducing climate impacts on water supply with nature-based solutions
Clearing alien trees could have reduced the impact of climate change on water supply during Cape Town's infamous drought, says a study from PiNC Lab researchers.
