| Description | The grassland vegetation on the coast of north-eastern Pondoland was analysed after sampling of 113 quadrats in Mkambati Game Reserve. Data were summarised using TWINSPAN and DECORANA multivariate procedures. Several communities and subcommunities are recognized and described in relation to measured abiotic variables. A primary gradient from the shore inland is evident, corresponding with changes in altitude, soil conductivity, soil organic matter and soil texture. Time since the last fire influences the invasion of shrubland species. | |
