| dc.description.abstract | As part of a vegetation survey programme for conservation areas in South Africa, the plant communities of the De Rust section of the Mountain Zebra National Park were investigated. From a TWINSPAN classification, refined by Braun-Blanquet procedures, 14 plant communities, which can be placed into six major groups, were identified. A classification and description of these communities, as well as a vegetation map are presented. Associated gradients in habitat were identified by using an ordination algorithm (DECORANA). The diagnostic species as well as the prominent and less conspicuous species of the tree, shrub, herb and grass strata are outlined. | en |
| dc.description.sponsorship | South African National Parks, the park warden and staff of Mountain Zebra National Park is thanked for allowing and encouraging the research. Mrs Thea Bezuidenhout is thanked for drawing the figures and vegetation map. The Grahamstown Herbarium is thanked for the identification of the plant species. This research was financially supported by the National Research Foundation. | en |
