BGIS Spatial Datasets The distribution of quartz patches was obtained from the SKEP project. These patches are hotspots of botanical diversity and occur as stepping-stones along a northwest to southeast gradient in the western Little Karoo, providing a gradient of changing species. They are not continuous, but are linked to one another via processes such as seed dispersal. See p. 57 in Lombard et al. (2004).
