  1. Floristic and Structural Composition of Wonderwoud Forest in the Wolkberg, North-Eastern Transvaal

    Floristic and Structural Composition of Wonderwoud Forest in the Wolkberg, North-Eastern Transvaal

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: C.J. Geldenhuys --- Division of Forest Science and Technology, F.J. Pieterse --- Wolkberg Wilderness Area,
    The closed, evergreen forest of 450 ha was studied by means of a survey of 55 circular plots of 0,04 ha, distributed in a grid pattern. TWINSPAN classification separated the forest into four stand types: Olea capensis macrocarpa—Xymalos monospora—Syzygium gerrardii...
  2. Floristic and Structural Composition of Hanglip Forest in the Soutpansberg, Northern Transvaal

    Floristic and Structural Composition of Hanglip Forest in the Soutpansberg, Northern Transvaal

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: C.J. Geldenhuys --- Division of Forest Science and Technology, B. Murray --- Northern Transvaal Forest Region,
    The closed, evergreen forest of 363 ha was sampled by means of 62 circular plots of 0,04 ha, distributed in a grid pattern. TWINSPAN classification separated the forest into regrowth forest with two forest types, and mature forest with four...
  3. Habitat preferences of twenty‐three grass species in the Bankenveld

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa • Authors: F.P. Jordaan --- Department of Agricultural Development, Highveld Region, Republic of South Africa A.S. de Beer --- Department of Agricultural Development, Highveld Region, Republic of South Africa
    Some grass species occur more frequently in certain habitats than in others. There is, however, uncertainty as to exactly which factors are responsible for this phenomenon. Species composition as well as habitat data were collected from plots situated on the...

    Changes to the vegetation of the mid‐Fish River valley, Eastern Cape, South Africa, in response to land‐use, as revealed by a direct gradient analysis

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: N.V. Evans --- Department of Botany, Republic of South Africa A.M. Avis --- Department of Botany, Republic of South Africa A.R. Palmer --- , Republic of South Africa
    Degradation of natural rangeland is a serious problem throughout southern Africa. It has been suggested that incorrect grazing management practices have resulted in a decrease in the production potential of rangelands. In order to explore the nature and extent of...
  5. Seasonal habitat utilisation and morphological characteristics of <em>Chamaeleo dilepis</em> on Telperion Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa

    Seasonal habitat utilisation and morphological characteristics of Chamaeleo dilepis on Telperion Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Herpetology • Authors: Trevor L O’Donoghue --- Applied Behavioural Ecology and Ecosystem Research Unit, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of South Africa, South Africa Kerry Slater --- Applied Behavioural Ecology and Ecosystem Research Unit, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of South Africa, South Africa Leslie R Brown --- Applied Behavioural Ecology and Ecosystem Research Unit, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of South Africa, South Africa
    Limited information on the habitat utilisation and seasonal activity of flap-necked chameleons (Chamaeleo dilepis) is available. We investigated habitat utilisation, seasonal distribution, and sexual dimorphism of C. dilepis on Telperion Nature Reserve (a privately protected natural area) in South Africa...
