1. Biovdiversity assessment in Savannah ecosystems;

2. Plant spatial distirbution pattern and diversity, along disturbance gradients;

3. Quantfying fish response to disturbance regime in different habitat types (i.e. swamps, marshes, riverine and artificial wetlands);

4. Bird assemblages in different floristic habitats, in protected and unprotected areas.

5. Classifying plant functional groups in different habitats and determining their traits-environment links and distribution pattern.

6. Application of Kotze et al. (2005) model and Acreman model in assessing wetlands functional status.
