Hc. Eckhardt et al., THE PHYTOSOCIOLOGY OF THE THICKET AND WOODLAND VEGETATION OF THE NORTH-EASTERN ORANGE-FREE-STATE, South African journal of botany, 59(4), 1993, pp. 401-409
A vegetation survey was conducted in the north-eastern Orange Free Sta
te to investigate the woody plant communities occurring on the mountai
n slopes. Releves were compiled in 84 stratified random sample plots.
Braun-Blanquet procedures were applied to refine a TWINSPAN classifica
tion of the vegetation. Nine plant communities were identified. A hier
archical classification, description and ecological interpretation are
presented.
