The vegetation of the north-western Orange Free State, South Africa. 2. The D land type

As part of a research programme on the synthesis of the vegetation of the western Grassland Biome, the plant communities of the D land type of the north-western Orange Free State were investigated. The results of a numerical classification (TWINSPAN) of 59 reievés were refined by Braun-Blanquet proc...

The results of a numerical classification (TWINSPAN) of 59 reievés were refined by Braun-Blanquet procedures.
