Abstract:

Dinoflagellate cyst and pollen records from marine sediments off the southwestern African coast reveal three major aridification periods since the last glaciation and an environmental correlation between land and sea. Abundant pollen of desert, semi-desert, and temperate plants 21,000–17,500 cal yr B.P. show arid and cold conditions in southwestern Africa that correspond to low sea surface temperatures and enhanced upwelling shown by dinoflagellate cysts. Occurrence of Restionaceae in the pollen record suggests northward movement of the winter-rain regime that influenced the study area during

Abstract:

Diatoms, a common siliceous alga, are effective paleoclimate and pollution indicators. They have been used in northern, eastern, and southern Africa as such because of well-documented ecologies of many taxa. In southwestern Africa, however, the country of Angola lacks similar modern assemblage studies. To close this gap, modern diatoms were sampled across four water bodies on the Humpata Plateau in southwestern Angola in the dry season of July 2019, with in-situ measurements of pH, conductivity, and total dissolved solids and laboratory analysis of cations and anions.

Abstract:

Abstract Potential sources of decadal climate variability over southern Africa are examined by conducting in-depth analysis of available datasets and coupled general circulation model (CGCM) experiments. The observational data in recent decades show a bidecadal variability noticeable in the southern African rainfall with its positive phase of peak during 1999/2000. It is found that the rainfall variability is related to anomalous moisture advection from the southwestern Indian Ocean, where the anomalous sea level pressure (SLP) develops. The SLP anomaly is accompanied by anomalous sea surface

The pollen-beetle Jelinekigethes dichromus n. sp. from northern South Africa is described. The new species is closely related to the other known species of this genus, J. danielssoni (Audisio 1995) from southwestern South Africa. The taxonomic position of Jelinekigethes is discussed in the context of presumably related African and Oriental meligethine genera. Larval host plants of both species of Jelinekigethes remain unknown, although important cues suggest a relationship of J. danielssoni with the problematic and isolated family Montiniaceae.

We apply canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) on pollen spectra from terrestrial surface samples to investigate pollen spectra-climate relationships.

This may be a response to ice sheets at higher latitudes, via equatorward displacement of the westerlies and the subtropical high.

<p class="042abstractstekst"><span lang="EN-US">The fall armyworm (<em>Spodoptera frugiperda</em>) is an invasive and highly destructive insect pest that has caused extensive damage to maize in Africa since its first report on the continent in 2016. Information on fall armyworm infestation and damage within African agroecologies is essential for the development of appropriate pest management strategies, but these are scant in Nigeria. Consequently, in this study, fall armyworm infestation levels and severity of damage to maize in the three major maize-growing agro-ecolo

Abstract:

Abstract The demise of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age has been hypothesized as diachronous, occurring first in western South America and progressing eastward across Africa and culminating in Australia over an ∼60 m.y. period, suggesting tectonic forcing mechanisms that operate on time scales of 106 yr or longer. We test this diachronous deglaciation hypothesis for southwestern and south-central Gondwana with new single crystal U-Pb zircon chemical abrasion thermal ionizing mass spectrometry (CA-TIMS) ages from volcaniclastic deposits in the Paraná (Brazil) and Karoo (South Africa) Basins that span

The monotypic genus Aphyllanthes Linnaeus (1753: 294) (Asparagaceae Juss.) is distributed through the Western Mediterranean region, from Northern Africa (Algeria, Libya, Morocco) to Southeastern and Southwestern Europe (Italy, Balearic Islands, France, Portugal, Sardegna and Spain) (Webb 1980, Rico 2013).

Abstract:

For the physical and geographical conditions of the African continent, it is more acceptable to simplify the runoff formation model by adapting to the relatively poorly studied long-term river flow regime of North Africa. The solution to the problems is based on the methodology of partially infinite modeling, developed in Russia and used in countries of Latin America and Africa with hot climates.

Abstract:

Abstract Periods of low convective activity over southern Africa during the peak rainy season from December to February are known to be due to the northeastward displacement of the tropical temperate trough (TTT) systems from the landmass. In this study, using Interim European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) data, the authors show that the displacement of the TTT systems during long periods of low convective activity has origins in the Northern Hemisphere.

Abstract:

Abstract It is generally agreed that changing climate variability, and the associated change in climate extremes, may have a greater impact on environmentally vulnerable regions than a changing mean. This research investigates rainfall variability, rainfall extremes, and their associations with atmospheric and oceanic circulations over southern Africa, a region that is considered particularly vulnerable to extreme events because of numerous environmental, social, and economic pressures. Because rainfall variability is a function of scale, high-resolution data are needed to identify extreme eve
