Description :
Understanding the local heterogeneity of species richness has important implications for conservation in coastal regions with development pressure. In preliminary surveys on the Maputaland coast a distinct zonation of vegetation was observed and it was hypothesised that local environmental variables influenced the gradient of species richness. Obtaining baseline data is important for underpinning development plans. - (AJC)
