Map of the vegetation types of South Africa (including Prince Edward and Marion Islands), Lesotho and Swaziland (Mucina & Rutherford 2006). There are 444 zonal and azonal vegetation types mapped at a working scale of 1:250 000 and sometimes better. The map is the result of a collaborative project involving about 60 individual contributors from a number of organizations. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Includes some mapping from Fine Scale Planning in Western Cape Province including: <\/SPAN><\/P>

  • Fixed forest at Eastern Cape/KwaZulu-Natal border that had been inadvertently deleted. Saldanha Peninsula, Bokkeveld and Sandveld Fine Scale Planning domains as done by Helme & Koopman (2007) and Helme (2007a,b). <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • Breede River Valley by Helme (2007) <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • Little Karoo by Vlok, Cowling, Wolf, (2005). <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • Hantam/Tanqua/Roggeveld by van der Merwe et al (2008a,b). <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/UL>

    Projection is <\/SPAN>Albers, WGS84, Central meridian 24, Reference latitude 0, Standard parallel 1 -30, Standard parallel 2 -20, no false Easting or Northing. <\/SPAN><\/P>

    Prince Edward Islands: Data are in UTM projection, WGS84, Central Meridian 37 E. Use in view with Map units meters, Distance units kilometers. <\/SPAN><\/P>
