Abstract

ABSTRACT Contrary to the few other studies conducted in Southern Africa, mean site-index per soil series was only significant at a low level (P ⋚ 0,10). No significant differences were apparent when a broad soil grouping using only morphological characteristics was tested. It is concluded that detailed soil mapping for site index determination is not justified in the Umzimkulu District, Transkei.
