H. Bezuidenhout et al., THE VEGETATION SYNTAXA OF THE BA LAND TYPE IN THE WESTERN TRANSVAAL GRASSLAND, SOUTH-AFRICA, South African journal of botany, 60(4), 1994, pp. 214-224
Relatively little is known about the vegetation of the western Grassla
nd Biome in South Africa. The classification of the vegetation of the
Ba land type forms part of a research programme on the synthesis of th
e vegetation of the western Grassland Biome. The result of the numeric
al classification obtained by TWINSPAN was refined by applying Braun-B
lanquet procedures. The result is a phytosociological table where one
new order, three new alliances, nine new associations and four new sub
associations are recognized. The new syntaxa are ecologically interpre
ted as well as described.
