Abstract
An indirect gradient analysis was carried out on vegetation and environmental data from the Mdedelelo Wilderness Area of Cathedral Peak State Forest in Highland Sourveld. Vegetation ordination axes were correlated with environmental variables deduced to have influenced species‐composition. Altitude proved a significant conjugate variable in the absence of tractable fire data.Keywords
