Body
A stratified sample of 350 plots was used to record grass species presence, the physical conditions of glasses and forbs, and to assess grazing usage. Normal association?analysis of the sample data identified and characterised the grass communities present which, on a plant succcssional basis, were found to be part of a retrogressive sequence induced by increasing grazing usage and the elimination of veld fires.
