Er. Fuls et al., THE GRASSLAND COMMUNITIES OF THE MIDSLOPES IN THE NORTHERN ORANGE-FREE-STATE, SOUTH-AFRICA, South African journal of botany, 59(5), 1993, pp. 478-484
A phytosociological and synecological analysis of the vegetation of th
e midslopes of the Heilbron-Lindley-Warden-Villiers area, northern Ora
nge Free State, South Africa, is presented. Releves were compiled in 6
3 stratified random sample plots. A TWINSPAN classification, refined b
y Braun-Blanquet procedures, revealed eight plant communities. All com
munities could be related to specific environmental conditions. A hier
archical classification and phytosociological description of the plant
communities are presented.
