摘要: Land units for the 900 km- Hluhluwe-Corridor-Umfolozi Game Reserve Complex in north eastern Natal were identified on aerial photographs. The physiognomy, dominants and description of woody vegetation each unit during ground inspections and. where necessary, point-centred quarter method was applied. Two forest, two riverine ten woodland thicket communities recognized. These are described according to their distribution, height percentage frequency components different canopy strata. A map at a scale 1:25 000 also compiled. Some these compared with other similar woodlands previously Natal. In some certain dominant species under tree strata extremely low autecological research has been suggested.
