Reference excerpt

Ronell Renett Klopper (born 1974) is a South African botanist. She has been the coordinator for the South African National Plant Checklist in the Fundamental Biodiversity Sciences Division of the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) since 2014. Klopper is responsible for keeping the plant checklist up to date and for liaising with the Biodiversity Information Management Unit of SANBI for its online distribution. This checklist forms the taxonomic backbone for numerous projects, and for management and conversation planning activities. She curates the Lycopodiophyta, Pteridophyta and Asphodelaceae collections of the National Herbarium in Pretoria and conducts research on these groups. Klopper is currently rated by the National Research Foundation as a C3 scientist, or "Established Researcher". The standard author abbreviation Klopper is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.

Background and education Klopper (née Visser) was born on 26 January 1974 in Randfontein, Gauteng. She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences at the University of Pretoria in 1994 and a Bachelor of Science in botany at the same university in 1995. She then obtained a master's degree in Plant Taxonomy at the University of Pretoria in 2000. Klopper obtained a Ph.D. in botany in 2015. Her Ph.D. thesis, entitled Contributions to the systematics of the genus Aloe L. in Southern Africa, stems from her involvement in the Aloes of the World project and provides a synthesis of knowledge of the 210 aloes found in Southern Africa.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ronell Renett Klopper

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ronell Renett Klopper claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ronell Renett Klopper before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ronell Renett Klopper ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ronell Renett Klopper

In research: Ronell Renett Klopper appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ronell Renett Klopper in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ronell Renett Klopper is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1974 births, 20th-century South African botanists, 21st-century South African botanists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ronell Renett Klopper outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
