Seed reciprocal transplants were used to test whether regeneration niche requirements were determinants of adult distributions. There were no germination niche differences, but limestone species showed greater seedling mortality on the transplanted colluvial sands than limestone. There were also greater relative growth rates of seedlings on their own soil than counterparts on transplanted soil. 2014-11-15T19:43:51Z 2014-11-15T19:43:51Z 1991 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9671 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
