“…Numerous phytosociological studies (Barrett, Brown, Barrett and Henzi, 2006;Bredenkamp and Brown, 2003;Du Preez, 1991Eckhardt et al, 1995;Eckhardt, Van rooyen and Bredenkamp, 1993;Grobler, Bredenkamp and Brown, 2002;Hoare and Bredenkamp, 2001;Malan, 1998;Pond, Beesley, Brown and Bezuidenhout, 2002;Smit, Bredenkamp and Van Rooyen, 1995) have shown that the Braun-Blanquet classification (Kent and Coker, 1992;Whittaker, 1980) is the most efficient phytosociological method to use. Habitat as well as floristic data were processed with TURBoVeG (Hennekens, 1996a).…”
