This thesis consists of two, inter-related sections. In Part 1, the relative utility of ordination techniques, for the purpose of indirect gradient analysis in plant ecology, is studied empirically. Using simulated data derived from flexible models of vegetation-gradient relationships. Part 2 is an integrated analysis of vegetation data obtained by intensive sampling of the subalpine and alpine vegetation of the Mt. Field Plateau, Tasmania. The results of the direct gradient analysis of the Mt. Field vegetation were taken into account when formulating the models used in Part 1. In return, the selection of the most appropriate methodo1ogy for indirect gradient analysis of the Mt. Field data drew upon the results of the comparative ...
