August 2010 5488487.1.5 Terrestrial Ecology (Flora)Methodology and Data SourcesThe floral study involved extensive fieldwork, a literature review and a desktop study utilisingGIS. The site was investigated during two site visits conducted on 14 January 2010 and 17February 2010 by Mr Konrad Kruger. All species within the waste disposal site wereidentified, photographed and their occurrence noted.• The floral data below is taken from the Vegetation of South Africa, Lesotho andSwaziland (Mucina and Rutherford 2006). Also, while on site, the following field guideswere used:- Guide to Grasses of Southern Africa (Frits van Oudtshoorn, 1999);- Field Guide to Trees of Southern Africa (Braam van Wyk and Piet van Wyk, 1997);- Field Guide to the Wild Flowers of the Highveld (Braam van Wyk and Sasa Malan,1998);- Problem Plants of South Africa (Clive Bromilow, 2001); and- Medicinal Plants of South Africa (Ben-Erik van Wyk, Bosch van Oudtshoorn andNigel Gericke, 2002).The occurrence of the species was described as either:• Very common (>50 % coverage);• Common (10 – 50 % coverage);• Sparse (5 – 10 % coverage); and• Individuals (< 5 % coverage)..Regional DescriptionAccording to the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), the study area fallswithin the Grassland Biome, where most of the country’s maize production occurs. The mainvegetation types found in the region are the Soweto Highveld Grassland and Central FreeState Grassland vegetation units as classified by Mucina and Rutherford 7 . As the study areaonly falls within the Soweto Highveld Grassland, this unit is described in more detail below.7 The Vegetation of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, Mucina and Rutherford 2006.
