It is logical to presuppose that such a varied environ­ painted a brief geological ment is likely to be reflected in the diversity of the flora and vegetation as one and palaeontological history travels along an imaginary gradient between fynbos and Karoo. of this special 'tension lone', On a regional scale the diversity of both the fynbos and succulent Karoo biomes is well documented, with various authors ascribing this to infertile soils, punt­ and now we examine the ing for fire or suggesting topographical gradients. Now researchers at the South exquisite flora in the ecosys­ African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) have claimed that major speciation tems encountered along the (the evolution of new species) patterns of both fynbos and succulent Karoo should be attributed to climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene (Le. over the past two marked ecological gradients million years). Our assertion is that no one factor would have dominated, however, between the Cederberg and fire would have been absent in the Karoo and much of this region has low topo­ the Tanqua Karoo graphic variation. High species turnover is no more evident than in the transition between mountain fynbos and adjacent Karoo and we suggest that whereas climate might have been important in the speciation process, the juxtaposition of differ­ ent substrates and varied topography in this Cederberg-Tanqua tension zone has ABOVE: Braunsia apiculata one of the many vygies dotting the rocky slab landscape in the tension zone.
