A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2015.Mountains are one of the most important and yet environmentally sensitive habitats in the world, they act as reservoirs of species, and have frequently served as refugia for organisms during periods of climate change and provided subsequent sources for speciation. As temperatures increase due to global climate change, species are shifting to higher altitudes to escape the effects of warming at lower altitudes. The spatial distribution and diversity of alpine vegetation is strongly influenced by environmental factors such as snow cover, solar radiation, ...
