  • A Classification of the Subtropical Transitional Thicket in the Eastern Cape, Based on Syntaxonomic and Structural Attributes
    S. Afr. J. Bot., 1987, 53(5): 329 - 340 329 A classification of the subtropical transitional thicket in the eastern Cape, based on syntaxonomic and structural attributes D.A. Everard Department of Plant Sciences, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, 6140 Republic of South Africa Accepted 11 June 1987 Subtropical transitional thicket, traditionally known as valley bushveld, covers a significant proportion of the eastern Cape. This paper attempts to classify the subtropical transitional thicket into syntaxonomic and structural units and relate it to other thicket types on a continental basis. Twelve sites along a rainfall gradient were sampled for floristic and structural attributes. The floristic data were classified using TWINSPAN. Results indicate that the class subtropical transitional thicket has at least two orders of vegetation, namely kaffrarian thicket and kaffrarian succulent thicket. Two forms of thicket were recognized for both these orders viz. mesic kaffrarian thicket and xeric kaffrarian thicket for the kaffrarian thicket and mesic succulent thicket and xeric succulent thicket for the kaffrarian succulent thicket. Ordination of site data by DECORANA grouped sites according to these vegetation categories and in a sequence along axis 1 to which the rainfall gradient can be clearly related. Variation within the mesic kaffrarian thicket was however greater than between some of the other thicket types, indicating that more data are required before these forms of thicket can be formalized. Composition, endemism, diversity and the environmental controls on the distribution of the thicket types are discussed. 'n Aansienlike gedeelte van die Oos-Kaap word beslaan deur subtropiese oorgangsruigte, wat tradisioneel as valleibosveld bekend is. Hierdie studie is 'n poging om subtropiese oorgangsruigte in sintaksonomiese en strukturele eenhede te klassifiseer en dit op 'n kontinentale basis in verband met ander ruigtetipes te bring.

  • Landscape Guidelines
    LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES 1. Introduction 1.1 General comment on Fransche Hoek Estate site The aim of the landscape design is to create a place where life can be celebrated and nature appreciated, where man lives in harmony with the natural environment and to create a landscape where agriculture, private properties, commercial and other facilities and nature blend into a coherent whole. The principles of biodiversity conservation permeate all aspects of the landscape design (see also “Fransche Hoek Estate, Landscape Design Framework” (3 August 2005). In the initial proposal, the estate is divided into three zones (see also Section 2). All drainage lines or river edges need to be rated as Zone 1. Any invasive or weed-like species on this estate has the potential to spread throughout the Berg River system and should thus be removed. There are currently enough problems with invasive species in this river system without irresponsibly adding more. Plant lists for Zones 1, 2 and 3 appear in Addendum 2 & 3. The hybridization of Protea species in the reserve area from plantings in Zone 2 is of concern. This problem is similarly evident in the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve. The Estate has a responsibility to not contribute to the problem in the La Rochelle Reserve. Protea species that tend towards hybridization and that should not be grown on the estate at all include Protea neriifolia, Protea susannae, Protea longifolia, fertile Protea hybrids (most of them), Leucadendron conicum, Leucadendron macowanii, Leucadendron uliginosum, Leucadendron loeriense and Leucospermum patersonii. Leucospermum cordifolium and Leucospermum cordifolium hybrids should only be grown in Zone 3.
