Renosterveld Ecological Processes Coast Interior Gradients 2003 (coastal_interior_gradient_dd.shp)
CAPE Lowlands Renosterveld – Ecological Processes (Coastal Interior Gradient). Gradients linking the coast to inland regions through natural vegetation/river corridors. Such gradients capture ecological processes operating at a larger scale such as biota migration and adaptation to climate change. Coast-interior gradients were identified where coastal habitats could be linked to habitats located in the Cape’s interior along corridors of connected vegetation (patches of natural vegetation that are within 500 m of each other were considered to be connected).

-
To identify and spatially depict ecological and evolutionary processes associated with natural corridors connecting the coast to interior regions for conservation planning and land use management purposes. Note that this data layer is only one of several depicting ecological processes.

- Statement
-
In order to spatially depict ecological processes associated with coast to interior gradients, areas connecting habitats along the coast and interior habitats along natural vegetation corridors were identified. This layer indicates potential for such a coast to gradients rather than its exact spatial location.
