dc.description.abstractThe survey was undertaken on a 30 square mile (78 square kilometer) area at the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula, in the Cape Province of South Africa. The applicability of association-analysis to the distinctive fynbos vegetation found in the Mediterranean type climate of this region, was tested. Subjectively, two formations, Fynbos and Broad-leaved Scrub, were recognized. Fynbos was subdivided into two alliances, Coast and Inland, and ten individually described associations. The association-analysis, based on 100 grid samples each 5 x 10 metres in extent, revealed 23 final groups. To provide an independent assessment of association-analysis, synthesis tables were constructed from the original plot data. The blocks of species-in-plots, obtained by standardized manipulation of the tabulated data, appear to provide a better correlation with habitat than either the final or recombined groups of the association-analysis.en_ZA
