Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve<br />

13<br />

4.4 RESULTS<br />

Twenty-three vegetation plots were established throughout the reserve, covering a total area of<br />

2.3ha representing a sampling intensity of 0.06% of the total area of the reserve. Twenty-three<br />

regeneration plots were also established, covering a total area of 828m 2 representing a sampling<br />

intensity of 3.6% of the total area of the vegetation plots.<br />

In total over 99% of species were identified to family, 99% to genus and 88% to species. Few<br />

trees were flowering or fruiting during the survey period and thus many sterile specimens were<br />

collected which led to some problems in identification to species for all specimens.<br />

4.4.1 VEGETATION PLOTS<br />

In total, 785 individuals were recorded within vegetation plots in Kazimzumbwi FR. These<br />

represented 37 families, 82 genera and 111 species (Table 2).<br />
