Spatial distribution of (d) mean annual rainfall and its percentage accumulation from (e) wet and (f) dry seasons. Climatological mean spatial distribution of soil moisture during (e) wet and (f) dry seasons and the corresponding NDVI patterns, (g) and (h), respectively (Adapted from Mtewele et al., 2023) 5.3.2 Biodiversity and trophic interactions in a wetland-savanna interface The Okavango Delta's biodiversity is a testament to its dynamic trophic interactions. The interface between wetland and savanna habitats creates a unique environment where species from both ecosystems interact. This diversity is maintained by the Delta's resilience to environmental perturbations, such as channel or lagoon failures. Despite these disturbances, the Delta has consistently absorbed changes and retained its overall ecological character. The resilience framework, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining dynamic characteristics, is crucial for managing the Delta's biodiversity and ensuring the stability of its trophic interactions (Mosepele and Mosepele, 2021; Mosepele et al., 2022).
