Kj. Bloem et al., GRASSLAND COMMUNITIES OF THE VERLORENVALEI-NATURE-RESERVE IN THE NORTH-EASTERN SANDY HIGHVELD, TRANSVAAL, South African journal of botany, 59(3), 1993, pp. 273-280
In order to formulate a management policy for the Verlorenvalei Nature
Reserve, a phytosociological study under the auspices of the Grassvel
d Biome Project was initiated. The classification, by means of the PHY
TO-TAB computer program, revealed seven plant communities which can be
grouped into two vegetation units. A hierarchical classification, des
cription and ecological interpretation as well as a DECORANA ordinatio
n with associated environmental gradients is presented.
