dc.description.abstract | The establishment of the Mapungubwe National Park has been an objective of several conservationists
for many years. The ultimate objective is that this park should become a major component of a
Transfrontier National Park shared by Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The aim of this
study was to identify, classify and describe the plant communities present in the Ib land type of the
park. Sampling was done by means of the Braun-Blanquet method. A total of 48 stratified random
relevés were sampled in the Ib land type. All relevé data were imported into a TURBOVEG database,
after which the numerical classification technique TWINSPAN was used as a first approximation.
Subsequently, Braun-Blanquet procedures were used to refine data and a phytosociological table was
constructed, using the visual editor, MEGATAB. Two plant communities and several subcommunities
and variants were identified and described from the phytosociological table. | |
