dc.description.abstractWetlands in semi-arid regions are highly productive and biologically diverse ecosystems that contribute significantly to livelihood and economic development and play a substantial role in sustaining rural livelihoods. These ecosystems are not only rich in biodiversity, but also predominantly valuable in terms of the services they provide to people, including water security, hydrological regulation, and other services. Chlorophyll-a concentrations and associated dynamics in two tropical wetland systems were estimated in the Makuleke and Nylsvlei wetlands. The Makuleke and Nylsvlei wetlands are in the Limpopo Transboundary River Basin, South Africa. Moderate-resolution Landsat 8 images for September 2018 and June 2019 and in situ field measurements were used to estimate and map chlorophyll-a concentration from the two wetlands. Landsat-derived chlorophyll-a concentrations were validated using field-derived chlorophyll-a measurements. Validation was implemented to assess the consistency of the remotely sensed chlorophyll-a estimates.en_US
