4.2 South facing slopes<br />
The high and steep south facing slopes are considered as an important plant community<br />
(Anderson 2000, Desmet 2010). The vegetation on the steep south-facing slopes is dense<br />
shrubveld and very low cover of grass species. Due to the cooler south-facing slopes and<br />
availability of moisture in winter, this vegetation is regarded by Desmet (2010) as a<br />
remarkable outlier of Succulent Karoo vegetation and shows some similarity to the<br />
Namaqualand Klipkoppe Shrubland. It is therefore considered as being floristically very<br />
important and is regarded as highly sensitive.<br />
