Two large west-east corridors that stretch across the planning domain, linking the Swartberg and associated mountain chains in the North. The maintenance of continuous corridors along these mountain chains provides an east-west climatic gradient, ranging from winter rainfall in the west to summer rainfall in the east. Collated and analyzed environmental and biological data, which are used to delineate management sectors for the Gouritz planning domain, and to identify projects for these management sectors. This layer is also needed for the analysis of 'conservation priorities'. - South African National Biodiversity Institute - 0217998738 Kirstenbosch Research Centre, Private Bag X7, Claremont, 7735 Cape Town City of Cape Town 7735 South Africa bgishelp@sanbi.org.za Ecological Processes Gouritz South Africa Western Cape Copyright Holder is CapeNature 50000 environment 2016-01-01 19.940844 23.770185 -34.438849 -32.960664 SANBI bgishelp@sanbi.org.za ZIP 1 http://bgis.sanbi.org/SpatialDataset/Detail/219 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related A list of spatial data-sets are available at this URL.
